Ha, ol'Gore Vidal (related to those Gores BTW)...

In the fiction department I am re-reading a book by James Gould Cozzens--a conservative mid-century US novelist who is mostly forgotten today despite winning (IIRC) a Pulitzer Prize and having one of his books "By Love Possessed", be a huge bestseller in the 1950s. That's the book I'm now reading. It's a portrait of a lawyer and the community/town he lives in, very profound and insightful depiction of a vanished America. Also enjoyably politically incorrect.
