+ Want to read

Gore Vidal: Sexually Speaking presents the author's often provocative and always engaging thoughts on sexuality. Here, fourteen essays and three rare, vintage interviews published over the past four decades tackle hot-button topics such as gay American founding fathers, sex and the Catholic church, gay bashing and the U.S. Congress, and bedding Jack Kerouac. "Vidal's erudition, candor, and exceptional sense of humor shine." — San Francisco Chronicle
