Description
Gore Vidal's Point to Point Navigation is a memoir that recounts his life and times since PALIMPSEST. As he navigates the complexities of his own story, he draws an apt analogy from his naval days, recalling the challenges of navigating treacherous waters with a compass rendered useless by weather. Through the pages of this book, Vidal travels through various arenas of his life, including literature, television, film, theatre, politics, and international society. He shares stories of achievements and defeats, friendships and enemies made, as well as those lost along the way. A poignant section is dedicated to the illness and death of his partner, Howard Austen, a meditation on mortality written in the spirit of Montaigne. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into Vidal's life, filled with notable encounters and personal reflections on the human experience.
