Gore Vidal is an American author of novels, stage plays, screenplays, and essays. For nearly sixty years, he has been a public, often controversial, figure in both the American literary and political scenes. He made a name for himself right after World War II with his first few novels, especially ‘Williwaw’ (1946) and ‘The City’ and the ‘Pillar’ (1948). Since then he has become one of America’s foremost celebrity authors, famous for his prose, his intelligence and his sophisticated sassiness. Vidal wrote the hit Broadway play ‘Visit to a Small Planet’ (1955), and the hit book ‘Myra Breckenridge’ (1968), and a very successful and critically-acclaimed series of historical novels about the United States, including ‘Burr’ (1973), ‘1876’ (1976), ‘Empire’ (1989), ‘Hollywood’ (1989) and ‘The Golden Age’ (2000). Vidal also made unsuccessful bids for both the congress (1960) and the senate (1982).
