Looking for a good Gore Vidal book to read? Then spend some time looking
over these thumbnail glimpses of his 29 published novels, two short story
collections, six theatrical plays and numerous books of nonfiction (essay
collections and two memoirs). These thumbnail pages contain a variety of
cover illustrations from Vidal's books, some of which you can enlarge by
clicking on them. A separate link in The Gore Vidal Index allows you to
see the covers of
Vidal's foreign translations.
To give Vidal's canon some order,
I've grouped the thumbnails into sections. Each link below will take you
to a new page of thumbnails. This list of links also will appear at the
bottom of each page for easy movement from page to page.
If you came directly to this thumbnail page and don't see a frame on the
left, please visit The Gore Vidal
Index now or after you've enjoyed the thumbnails, which you can
access
from the main Index page. And please send me comments if you have a thought, a suggestion
or a link to add to the index. I also welcome notes on any factual or
typographical errors you might find in the text.
