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



Christopher Isherwood was one of them. His third novel, The City and the Pillar, featured a homosexual as a main character and bookshops refused to stock it. Vidal first made a name for himself with the 1948 publication of The City and the Pillar, a book that created turmoil because its main character is openly gay without also being seen as unnatural. In 1948, his novel The City and the Pillar, with its overtly homoerotic theme, was pilloried by The New York Times. Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences at College of the Desert In 1947, Gore Vidal sent a copy of his soon-to-be-published novel, The City and the Pillar, to a number of established writers. It also imparts which of the celebrity's books, characters or songs is the most beloved among one's circle. He was even forced to work under pseudonyms during the 1950s. Turns out, everyone has read Crazy Salad and The City and the Pillar, and adores “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”. 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. Meanwhile his third novel, published in 1948, featured homosexuality (The City and The Pillar), and in 1968 he published Myra Breckenridge, a satirical comedy about a transsexual. "Multiple cultures are the profound cultural heritage of the city," said Liu Wei-gong, Commissioner of the Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government. To make a living, Vidal started writing for television, theater and film.
