THIS & THAT
*******************************
Gore Vidal on Truman Capote:
“We had something in common.
Our mothers were drunks.”
*
On Venice: “For the Venetians,
‘the evil empire’ was Turkey.”
*
Leonard Bernstein on Brahms:
“The least appreciated
of the major composers.”
*
Jay Parini on Vidal: “Gore just adds a vowel
to English words and thinks it’s Italian.”
*
I have been quoting from Jay Perini’s
A LIFE OF GORE VIDAL.
