Very sad news. He was my hero in so many ways. A brave, intelligent, creative, witty man. They don't make them like Gore Vidal anymore. I know that like Cyrano he died with his panache. He was a brilliant and learned man. No one topped him as a essayist not even Montaigne. He was a playwright, a novelist, a screenwriter (Suddenly Last Summer amongst others) and a handsome devil.
