ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gore Vidal

Gore Vidal is one of the central figures in the history of post-World War II American literature. Born in 1925 in New York, he studied at the University of New Hampshire. His first novel, Williwaw (1946) was a war story clearly influenced by Hemingway's style. Although much of his work deals with 20th-century America, Vidal frequently explored earlier periods, such as, for example, in A Search for the King (1950), Julian (1964) and Creation (1981).
Among his favorite themes is the world of cinema and, more specifically, the behind-the-scenes workings of Hollywood, which he satirically and relentlessly dismantles in titles such as Myra Breckinridge (1968), Myron (1975) and Duluth (1983). Possessing an exuberant, multifaceted, and always surprising style, he published his autobiography in 1995. Palimpsest: The MemoryThe works of the Institute Smithsonian and The Golden Age They have been translated into Portuguese.
Grandson of Senator Thomas Gore, stepson of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' stepfather, distant cousin of Al Gore, Gore Vidal has always been a critical mirror reflecting the greatness and misery of the USA.
She passed away on July 31, 2012, at the age of 86, at her home in Hollywood, from pneumonia.
