[Signed, Presentation] Vidal, Gore. Palimpsest. First Edition. 1995. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Book is warmly inscribed, “Dear Jodan & Jay, May your banners hang high! And your knickers never be in a twist—Love Gore (Clark and Bill made me say this.) Santa Fe, May 96’.” 

Written at the height of his powers, this memoir is Gore Vidal at his best. One of our great writers, what sets him apart is that he was also one of the most plugged-in. Equally at home in Washington or Hollywood, he has the goods on many who made the 20th Century fascinating—Eleanor Roosevelt, John and Jackie Kennedy, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, et al. The book is an intriguing paradox: cynical yet romantic; lyrical but also gossipy. At its center is a lost love of mythic proportions that casts a shadow on all that is to follow.
