The Death of Gore Vidal Marks the Last of the Literary Outlaws
Reblogged from Rant, with occasional music:
The American writer Gore Vidal, died on Tuesday evening aged 86, from pneumonia. He passing signals the end of a group of writers whose heyday was in the 60s and 70s and who were known for their uncompromising prose and their often controversial views. They became fixtures of the chat show circuit in the 70s when cigarette smoke still wafted around the studio, as did intelligent conversation.
Beautifully put out there for us all by Derek Flynn.
