THE CITY AND THE PILLAR, GORE VIDAL ASTERIOS POLYP, DAVID MAZZUCCHELLI THE BEST AMERICAN NONREQUIRED READING 2009…I look forward to the new collection every year! Vidal's hugely controversial, ground-breaking 1948 novel The City and the Pillar, which had a whole bunch of gay stuff in it that was most certainly not casually accepted at the time, was black-listed by The New York Times. During these meetings, which occurred over the last 20 years of his life, his motor control was not the best. During those days, most of what I learned about homosexuality I found in literature, such as Gore Vidal's book, “The City and the Pillar,” which ironically was published about the same time I was born. Writing with a pen required extreme. Christopher Isherwood was one of them. More than once, I was in the august presence of Hunter Thompson. With more than 200 of the biggest names and greatest minds from the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area present, our first pillar event, DC UpFront, has been deemed a huge success. On Alexius's recommendation, we read the book, a source of escape for Alexius. Every single pillar is supposed to feature a neighbourhood map, right on the skinny part that faces the sidewalk. Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences at College of the Desert In 1947, Gore Vidal sent a copy of his soon-to-be-published novel, The City and the Pillar, to a number of established writers. An iconoclast ahead of his time, he candidly wrote about homosexuality in an early novel, The City and the Pillar, which got him blacklisted by book critics at the New York Times.
