When Gore Gores


There is an absolutely delightful interview with Gore Vidal in Today's Sunday Times Magazine.  Vidal is a brilliant writer — I prefer his essays to his fiction, myself (Sex, Death and Money is a good place to start)— but he is a cranky old queen!  Yee-ikes!

Excerpts:

You live in California , where last month the State Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-sex marriage. As someone who lived with a male companion for 50-plus years, do you see this as a victory for equality? People would ask, How could you live with someone for so long without any problems of any kind? I said, There was no sex.

Were you chaste during those years? Chased by whom?

Are you a supporter of gay marriage? I know nothing about it. I don’t follow that.

Why doesn’t it interest you? The same reason heterosexual marriage doesn’t seem to interest me.

I think you get the picture.
