Gore Vidal, requiescat in pace ...

[Monte Davis]

I will miss him. For years, enjoying Julian and the Washington novels, I
thought of his correspondences between republican -> imperial Rome and the
US as a conceit or crotchet -- at most an echo of imperial Britain's
classical preoccupations. It took me too long to realize he was quite
serious and quite right.
