Title : Palimpsest. Memoirs - Gore Vidal - book

Summary :

Palimpsest: parchment from which the first writing has been erased to write a new text. In an original form, the writer Gore Vidal summons here his memories and the figures of his youth: the Kennedys, Anaïs Nin, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Cocteau… In an admirably subtle but uncompromising style, he paints a superb gallery of portraits coupled with a profound reflection on America, its puritanism and its morals.

Born in 1925, Gore Vidal divides his time between literature and politics. A great critic of the failings of American society, he is one of the major figures in contemporary American literature.

“A captivating and delightful read. An undeniable success.”

William Boyd
