Gore-y Details

A warm, cozy interview in which Gore Vidal reflects on fellow writers:
"Capote I truly loathed. The way you might loathe an animal. A filthy animal that has found its way into the house."
His mother:
"She was a shit." He pauses. "A drunken shit."
And other happy topics.

Special bonus: An equally charming Q&A from The Times.

What an SOB. I'd love to have dinner with him; as long as he paid the bill.
