In Duluth they do it all with word processors. Meanwhile Lieutenant Darlene Ecks, strip-search enthusiast, terrorizes a barrio full of illegal Mexican immigrants until they rise up in defiance, the mayor plumbs the mysteries of a bright red spaceship and a life and death contest is waged between Duluth's leading socialite and its foremost author to complete contradictory biographies of Betty Grable.Gore Vidal's wicked extravaganza sports special effects not expected in a novel; and it poses taunting puzzles like who is the guy they call The Dude?

  • Gore Vidal's Caligula (1979): Denying the Author Daniel O'brien Gore
    Journal of American Studies of Turkey 35-36 (2012): 97-109 Gore Vidal’s Caligula (1979): Denying the Author Daniel O’Brien Gore Vidal’s involvement with and subsequent disownment of the film Caligula (1979) is well known. Produced in Italy and financed by Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione; it started as an ostensibly serious biopic of the infamous Roman emperor, scripted by Vidal, but ended up as a lurid blend of graphic violence and explicit sex. The focus of this article is not on Caligula itself, but an accompanying documentary, made at the time of the film’s production with Vidal’s participation. The prosaic title A Documentary on the Making of Gore Vidal’s Caligula (1981) is notable for apparently granting Vidal authorial ownership of the film. However, the content of the documentary, supervised by Guccione, subverts and questions this authorship, ultimately denying both Vidal’s entitlement to this position and the validity of the concept itself. My methodology includes debates on authorship in relation to the cinema, which have usually centered on the director and ideas of personal expression. As noted below, Vidal scorned the notion of directors as cinematic authors, or auteurs, regarding them as mere technicians who neither required nor displayed creative ability. However, A Documentary on the Making of Gore Vidal’s Caligula highlights opposing ideas of film authorship that befit further analysis. As Peter Wollen states, the concept of the auteur is linked to the French film journal Cahiers du Cinéma, which promoted the politique des auteurs during the 1950s, albeit in haphazard fashion (74, 77).

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Two Sisters by Gore Vidal Two Sisters (Novel) Two Sisters Is a Novelistic Memoir by the American Writer Gore Vidal
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Two Sisters by Gore Vidal Two Sisters (novel) Two Sisters is a novelistic memoir by the American writer Gore Vidal. Originally published in 1970 this fairly short novel (174 pages) contains, according to the blurb on the dust jacket of the first edition, "Gore Vidal’s singular speculations on love, sex, death, literature and politics." A memoir is a collection of memories that an individual writes about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in the subject's life. The assertions made in the work are understood to be factual. While memoir has historically been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography since the late 20th century, the genre is differentiated in form, presenting a narrowed focus. A biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", while a memoir often tells a story "from a life", such as touchstone events and turning points from the author's life. The author of a memoir may be referred to as a memoirist or a memorialist . Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his patrician manner, epigrammatic wit, and polished style of writing. Reviewing the book in the New York Times , reviewer John Leonard complained, ""Two Sisters" works neither as a novel (all the news happens off-stage) nor as a memoir (the "I" is far too coy)." [1] John Leonard was an American literary, television, film, and cultural critic. Related Research Articles. Burr (1973), by Gore Vidal, is a historical novel that challenges the traditional founding-fathers iconography of United States history, by means of a narrative that includes a fictional memoir, by Aaron Burr, in representing the people, politics, and events of the U.S.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Remembering Gore Vidal
    Remembering Gore Vidal By Stephen Lendman Region: USA Global Research, August 02, 2012 Theme: History 2 August 2012 Many labels characterize him: distinguished author, essayist, playwright, historian, acerbic sociopolitical/cultural critic, freethinker, intellectual, and humanist. In 2009, the American Humanist Association (AHA) named him honorary president. On July 31, Gore Vidal died from complications of pneumonia at his Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles home. He was 86. He’ll be missed. Los Angeles Times writer Elaine Woo called him a “gadfly on the national conscience” and “literary juggernaut.” He was that and much more. New York Times writer Charles McGrath said he was “an Augustan figure who believed himself to be the last of a breed, and he was probably right. Few American writers have been more versatile or gotten more mileage from their talent.” Random House editor Jason Epstein called him “an American version of Montaigne.” As an essayist, New York Time Book Review writer RWB Lewis said he was “so good that we cannot do without him. He (was) a treasure of state.” London Guardian writer Richard Lea called him “one of the towering figures of American cultural and political life for more than six decades.” AHA said he was “a masterful humanist voice.” He “added an enthusiastic, progressive and dynamic voice” to AHA’s humanist movement. AHA president David Niose said: “The progressive and humanist values Gore Vidal repeatedly espoused moved the culture in a positive direction.” | 1 “He spent his life pointing out the places in society that needed the most attention without worrying who might be embarrassed or upset by his opinions.” Humanist magazine editor Jennifer Bardi added: “He’s been called an iconoclast, a provocateur, and a misanthrope.

  • A Historical/Critical Analysis of the Tv Series the Fugitive
    A HISTORICAL/CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TV SERIES THE FUGITIVE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By David P. Pierson, B.S. Denton, Texas May, 1993 Pierson, David P., A Historical/Critical Analysis Of The TV Series The Fugitive. Master of Science (Radio/TV/Film), May 1993, 168 pp., bibliography, 70 titles. In many respects, the popular 1960's television series, The Fugitive perfectly captured the swelling disillusionment with authority, alienation, and discontent that soon encompassed American society. This historical/critical study provides a broad overview of the economic, social, and political climate that surrounded the creation of The Fugitive. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of five discursive topics (individualism, marriage, justice & authority, professionalism, science and technology) within selected episodes and to show how they relate to broader cultural debates which occurred at that time. Finally, this study argues that The Fui1gitive is a part of a television adventure subgenre which we may classify as the contemporary "wanderer-hero" narrative and traces its evolution through selected television series from the last three decades.
