Not long ago we got a special treat in the mail at BookPage: Gore Vidal: Snapshots in History’s Glare. This book (retail value: $40!) is a visual memoir of Vidal’s life, complete with pages and pages of photos, letters and other memorabilia (not to mention Vidal’s writing).
Vidal received a National Book Award in 1993 for his essay collection United States. He also ran for Congress in 1960; contributed to the script of Ben-Hur; and wrote many novels, including the classic (and controversial) The City and the Pillar.
I could go on – but instead, one lucky reader can read for him or herself in Vidal’s new book. Just answer the following question in the comments (think of this as a BookPage.com scavenger hunt):
Which of Vidal’s audio books was named as “Sukey’s Favorite” by BookPage audio book columnist Sukey Howard? I’ll choose a random winner from the correct answers. I’ll announce the lucky reader on Monday. Good luck!
Sukey’s favorite Vidal’s review was of The Golden Age.
