The City and the Pillar Gore Vidal
Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group



His masterpiece novel, The City and the Pillar, published in 1948, was the first mainstream novel in the United States to explicitly approach the subject of homosexuality. "I have begun writing what I have said I'd never write, a memoir ('I am not my own subject,' I used to say with icy superiority)." From the Preface to Gore Vidal's The City and the Pillar and Seven Early Stories. When Jim was young he never really dated girls, or had any interest in them. It is a uniquely Chiang Mai Festival. The City and The Pillar follows the life of a very confused boy named Jim.

Inthakin also known as Sai Khan Dok – บูชาเสาอินทขีล worship of the city pillar – ประเพณี tradition of ใส่ขันดอก flower offering to the อินทขิล pillar – is a festival held every year in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Sometimes recalls aloud — just as I repeat back to him — the epigraph of Gore Vidal's great novel about youth and loss, The City and the Pillar. The City and the Pillar: A Novel by Gore Vidal. Vintage, 1948, re-released 1965, 1995. Jim and Bob are all American teens who spend their last night of summer together. Like any self-respecting American who considers himself even the slightest but literarily inclined, I was already a fan of Vidal's work. 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. Jim leaves home in search of Bob, his only love. That the Times even deigned to interview Vidal was noteworthy. I wanted to do a professional job and ask good, thoughtful, intelligent questions.
