Ebook About
Gore Vidal claimed there was no such thing as “gay,” only gay sexual acts. But what was the truth about his sex life and sexuality—and how did it affect and influence his writing and public life? With In Bed with Gore Vidal: Hustlers, Hollywood, and the Private World of an American Master, Tim Teeman interviews many of Vidal’s closest family and friends, including Claire Bloom and Susan Sarandon, as well as surveying Vidal’s own rich personal archive, to build a rounded portrait of who this lion of American letters really was away from the page. Here, revealed for the first time, Teeman discovers the Hollywood stars Vidal slept with and the reality of his life with partner Howard Austen—and the hustlers they both enjoyed. Was Gore’s true love really a boy from prep school? Was he really, as he said, bisexual, and if so how close did he really get to marrying women, including Claire Bloom and Joanne Woodward? And if Vidal really was gay, why did he not want to say so? Did his own sex secrets underpin a legal fight with adversary William F. Buckley, still being played out after his death? Much as Vidal fought against being categorized, Teeman shows how he also proved himself to be a pugnacious advocate for gay sexual freedom in his books, articles, and high-profile media appearances. Teeman also, for the first time, vividly and movingly evokes the final, painful and tragic years of Vidal’s life, as he descended into alcoholism and dementia, his death, and the bitter, contentious legacy he has left behind.

Book In Bed With Gore Vidal Review :



Gore Vidal found fame writing about homosexuality in "The City and the Pillar" but, for the rest of his life, apparently felt this accomplishment was useless as it pigeonholed him and, in a way, thwarted his career as a politician, his most cherished ambition. The American public may have wanted to know more about gay people but the New York Times seemed to feel the subject was better left in the closet (in which resided many of the esteemed critics at the Times who devalued his contribution). Needing money, Vidal found himself writing for live television at its zenith in the mid-50s. Teeman's book investigates quite thoroughly Vidal's unwillingness to label himself gay after 1948.Jimmy Trimble was Vidal's heroic, dead lover, the recipient of his undying affection and book dedications. Trimble even serves as his eternal neighbor in death, Vidal having taken the plot next to his with his longtime partner Howard Austen on the other side. Teeman's interview with Trimble's fiancee is fascinating in that it effectively bursts Vidal's bubble of veracity when it comes to Jimmy and what really went on between them (which wasn't much).Alcoholism seems to be the default escape of so many writers who've died young, yet Vidal managed to carry on with his destructive habit far longer than most, dying at a ripe old age. Of course he was barely coherent and may be said to have died years earlier, but Vidal lived long enough to betray his closest family by not remembering them after all was said and done. Instead, he donated his considerable fortune to a school he never attended. There were none of the customary bequests for those to whom one is close. Why? And that is why I like to read about Gore Vidal. Why wasn't he close to anyone? Why couldn't he appreciate the friends who stayed with him, the family members who loved him? Not even a thank-you to those who served him his whole life. (His "devoted to the end" Filipino chef, who was given nothing and returned to the Philippines to try and get by on a small pension.) How could Vidal be so cruel?Teeman answers it all. Gore Vidal was a cantankerous curmudgeon who seemed to live his life with little compassion or empathy. He paid for almost every sexual encounter he had with cash so he wouldn't have to pay for it later with his vulnerability. He seems to understand how very lucky he was to have Howard with him to run interference. The author explains in detail that, if this most primary of relationships was non-sexual as Vidal always stated for the record, it was certainly not without a deep love on both sides.This comprehensive and very readable book really gets to the heart (or the absence of one) of his subject matter and I thoroughly enjoyed it.Five stars. Great read!
An parsing of promiscuity in an interesting time for homosex, but Gore was a Bore when it came to his refusal to acknowledge sexual preference as a core aspect of identity or even not abhor the use of the words gay and homoerotic. It helped make him the caustic queen that he was despite trying desperately to appear masculine. He never could see the importance of wresting people out of the closet and shining a lot on all their individual it it's despite preaching that's exactly what he wanted. The adoption of an LGBT array of subcultures doesn't have pigeonhole but allows for the ending of stigmatized which he clearly embraced wholeheartedly despite wantonly seeing men for fifteen minutes and never connecting on any deeper level. Which is all fine and good, but it is soul draining, especially when the love of his life, by his side for 62 years was never acknowledged in public for what he was. This clearly was cowardice and shame despite Gore's sharp tongue and disregard for propriety on most other levels.
