| Synopsis | PALIMPSEST is the autobiography of Gore Vidal, who always said he would never write one. He begins with his birth in 1925 at West Point, and continues through his life as a page to his grandfather, the populist senator Thomas P. Gore from Oklahoma. In between are Vidal's days at St. Albans school and in the army, and his adventures in the gay life in New York in the 1940s and 1950s. His reminiscences include Hollywood figures and politicians, with a cast of characters that includes the Kennedys, Anaïs Nin, Truman Capote, and the Clintons. Includes 32 pages of b&w photographs.

| | Publisher's Note | Gore Vidal refers to this memoir of his first 39 years as a "palimpsest", pointing out how remembrances are shaped and reshaped with time. From the vantage point of his villa on the Italian coast, Vidal tells of his life as a novelist and dramatist, politician and critic, and discusses the figures he has known, including the Kennedys, Tennessee Williams, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jack Kerouac, Amelia Earhart, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Woven throughout are meditations on writing, history, acting, politics, and love. 91 photos.
