Never before have the sex writings of Gore Vidal been collected in a single volume. These works offer some of the most provocative and reasoned insights into sex, gender, and sexual orientation ever composed by an American author. Gore Vidal: Sexually Speaking collects 13 essays and four interviews produced between 1961 and 1998. Topics include George Washington's homosexuality; Norman Mailer's feminism; bedding Jack Kerouac; the "sapphic tendencies" of Eleanor Roosevelt; turning tricks for Dr. Kinsey; Christopher Isherwood on the "heterosexual dictatorship"; cruising postwar Italy with Tennessee Williams; Henry Miller's sex drive; AIDS; monogamy; plus many more.
