GORE VIDAL: Well, you go into a room, and it's empty. One notices that. That's about it.
...

- At the age of 82, you will be publishing your new collection of essays this week, which seems likely to confirm your reputation as one of America’s last public intellectuals. Why do you think that critics have traditionally praised your essays more than your fiction, which includes “Burr,” “Myra Breckinridge” and 20 other novels?
- That’s because they don’t know how to read. I can’t name three first-rate literary critics in the United States . I’m told there are a few hidden away at universities, but they don’t print them in The New York Times .
- Are you saying your novels have been critically neglected?
- I don’t even read most reviews, unless there is a potential lawsuit on view. I’ve never had much attention paid by critics — nor has anybody else in the United States of America, as Mr. Obama likes to call it.
- And what about Mr. McCain?
- Disaster. Who started this rumor that he was a war hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the prison war camp?
- Everyone knows he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.
- That’s what he tells us.
- Why would you doubt him?
- He’s a graduate of Annapolis. I know a lot of the Annapolis breed. Remember, I’m West Point, where I was born. My father went there.
[...]- How, exactly, is your cousin Al Gore related to you?
-They keep explaining it to me, and I keep forgetting.
[...]- In 1968, during the Nixon-Humphrey race, you became the voice of liberalism in a series of televised debates with William Buckley. Any plans to be a pundit at the coming presidential conventions?
- No.
- How did you feel when you heard that Buckley died this year?
- I thought hell is bound to be a livelier place, as he joins forever those whom he served in life, applauding their prejudices and fanning their hatred.
- You live in California , where last month the State Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-sex marriage . As someone who lived with a male companion for 50-plus years, do you see this as a victory for equality?
- People would ask, How could you live with someone for so long without any problems of any kind? I said, There was no sex.
- Were you chaste during those years?
- Chased by whom?
- Are you a supporter of gay marriage?
- I know nothing about it. I don’t follow that.
- Why doesn’t it interest you?
- The same reason heterosexual marriage doesn’t seem to interest me.
- If we look at the situation apart from you —
- It’s my interview, so we’ve got to stay with me.
- Have you ever considered leaving the United States permanently?
- No, it’s my subject.
- Do you read a lot of contemporary fiction these days?
- Like everyone else, no, I don’t.
- Anyone in the 20th century you might have a kind word about?
-Yes, I liked Italo Calvino, and I thought he was the greatest writer of my time.
- Your new collection includes an essay in which you note, “Calvino does what very few writers can do: he describes imaginary worlds with the most extraordinary precision and beauty.” What about American novelists?
- Can’t think of one.
[...]- Well, it was a great pleasure talking to you.
- I doubt that.
