Gore Vidal was the first literary author that I fell in love with. I read him and knew it was good and important even though I didn't know why. It wasn't till I was considerably older that I actually understood what it was I was reading.
I haven't read any of his works for over a decade, but I will miss you Mr. Vidal. Yes I will.

One day his sequel to Myra Breckenridge, Myron, will be rediscovered. It's one of the most enjoyably berserk, completely unhinged, hilariously high-concept books ever written, and I think people didn't know what to make of it when it came out, but are ready for it now.
RIP, you gloriously droll lunatic.
