The City and the Pillar Gore Vidal
Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group



In 1948, his novel The City and the Pillar, with its overtly homoerotic theme, was pilloried by The New York Times. Since 2009 the city of Freiburg in South Germany has a tolerance zone. But it was his second, The City and the Pillar, that truly established him. Gore Vidal: (October 3, 1925- present). Vidal is the author of multiple novels, including Burr (the first in his Narratives of Empire series), The City and the Pillar, and Myra Breckinridge. Vidal brought the subject of homosexuality to the forefront even when America wasn't ready to deal with it: When E.P. Vidal's hugely controversial, ground-breaking 1948 novel The City and the Pillar, which had a whole bunch of gay stuff in it that was most certainly not casually accepted at the time, was black-listed by The New York Times. Turns out, everyone has read Crazy Salad and The City and the Pillar, and adores “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”. Just finished Gore Vidal's “The City and the Pillar,” a novel to which I should have treated myself years ago. It also imparts which of the celebrity's books, characters or songs is the most beloved among one's circle. To make a living, Vidal started writing for television, theater and film. But I probably wasn't ready to read it then. Upon first publication in 1948, The City and the Pillar received a wave of critical attention – positive and negative – and assured Gore Vidal a lifetime place in American letters. On the Augustinerplatz in the center of the city, a perplex pillar spreads colorful.
