Gore Vidal on Imprint: Writer in Profile (2001)

[@jadezee6316]

Gore Vidal was the greatest essayist this country has ever produced....and his keen mind is sorely missed

[@Arareemote]

He's one of the American greats for sure, but I'd still give it to Edmund Wilson and Joan Didion.

[@d.mavridopoulos66]

What do you consider are his half-dozen best essays? Thank you in advance.

[@hayleyanna2625]

I think dreadfully underrated. More people should be aware and listen to this great man.

[@ukrandr]

Thirty minutes well spent. This superb interview makes me want to re-read Gore's novels.

[@Pancakeshouse85]

Thank you so much for posting and sharing all these clips and compiling them on your channel. It means a lot.

[@dengelke]

Keep em coming.

[@jessicajae7777]

that would have been better if the interviewer didnt talk at all. he kept interrupting. Then saying what he thought Gore meant and not letting him correct him, which he kept trying to do. And then a few times there it seemed like he was trying to force him to say something or concede to something that he just wasnt going to. Gore is a brilliant man and the world needs billions more just like him

This channel is a goldmine. Thank you

Vidal's brilliance. 💯

[@cheri238]

What a writer, he is among my favorites!!! Long live Gore Vidal!!! What would he have written in 2024? He wrote masterpieces. He understood philosophy, history, sciences and religious divisions for centuries. Sexual appetizers for delights. Scintillating and well thought out. What a brilliant mind. 🙏❤️🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵

[@dudeforcaster8630]

@@jessicajae7777 compared to what passes for journalism today, he is.

[@micbear9334]

The last 2 minutes are very prescient to today's current affairs

[@ttacking_you]

Whew! The status quo doesn't care which color it uses

[@ttacking_you]

... except of course that Russia the №1 producer and exporter of "indecent films with children" wasn't kidnapping Ukrainian children back then

The minute before the last two. That's the one. 27th one. Education

Talking about, interrupting while trying to answer. I had to turn it off. Its good job, that Irish man, like myself, didn't have a long career on TV.
