"As a novelist Vidal explored the nature of corruption in public and private life. His style of narration evoked the time and place of his stories and delineated his characters' psychology. His third novel The City and the Pillar 1948 about a dispassionately presented male homosexual relationship offended conservative book reviewers' literary political and moral sensibilities." from Wikipedia; 314p. pages; Pictured 4/6/26; Signed by Author .
