  Gore Vidal Essay
As the titles of the journals in which Vidal's essays appeared might indicate, he writes about literature, issues of national interest, and the people he has known.
He freely uses these connections in his essays, frequently sharing anecdotes from his personal and working relationships with the famous and infamous.
As Robert Kiernan (1982) observes, "the essays are more interesting for their quips, their anecdotes, and their satirical exaggerations than for the spine of essayistic logic that these bend to their will.

  Gore Vidal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal (born October 3, 1925), known as Gore Vidal, is a prolific and versatile American writer of novels, stage plays, screenplays, and essays and has been a public and often controversial figure on both the American literary and political scenes for nearly sixty years.
In a key passage that attacked Vidal as an apologist for homosexuality, Buckley wrote that "the man who in his essays proclaims the normalcy of his affliction [i.e., homosexuality], and in his art the desirability of it, is not to be confused with the man who bears his sorrow quietly.
Vidal is strongly critical of the George W. Bush administration, as he has been of previous U.S. administrations that he considers to have either an explicit or implicit expansionist agenda.

Sadly, over the course of 75 years the Watchtower has gone from confidently stating that the anointed will definitely survive Armageddon, to now, revising their official comment to "the Bible does not say."

Because the departed slave had not prepared the other sheep for his violent departure, Jehovah goes on to note that those left behind are not "a people of keen understanding." Jehovah shows them no favor because he takes their spiritual guide from them—momentarily leaving them to fend for themselves in Jacob's sudden absence.

The vitality that made Nichols a standout prep-school mischief maker and college hockey player lends irresistible high spirits even to essays about departed friends and mortal illness--subjects that are treated with compassion, bawdy irreverence, thoughtful philosophizing, and the author's intense love of life.
Nichols can find a miraculous universe in a tiny stock pond, turn a rafting trip into a Keystone Kops misadventure, advocate revolution at a moment's notice, and laugh with beguiling aplomb at his own awkward pomposity.
Enjoyable to read, the essays provide insights into the political activism of the Sixties, the environmental movement, the beauty of the New Mexico landscape, the development of a writer, and the strength of an individual." --Library Journal
