Gore Vidal Dies

Gore Vidal, the author, playwright, politician and commentator, died 31 July 2012 of complications from pneumonia.

Vidal was among the last generation of literary writers who were also genuine celebrities.

In one interview, Vidal said, “I spent a lot of time in cemeteries as a kid.  I was always jealous of the marble”.

We hope he gets some beautiful marble of his own.
