It is always pleasing to have personal observations confirmed and validated. I have a big book of the collected essays of Gore Vidal - which won a National Book Award . It was in good condition. FOR SALE at the Providence Public Library for ONE DOLLAR.
Did the professional librarians there decide that nobody would want to read this brilliant " on the left " author anymore ? Years ago I noticed that Vidal - a gay man- always spoke with cynicism about our " ruling class ". When he was rationally critical of Israel he was smeared as " anti-Semitic " .
ALL Gore Vidal's essays are relevant to American politics today.
