From today’s New York Times:

What do you think is your own best novel? I don’t answer questions like that. Ever. And you ought not to ask them.

Well, it was a great pleasure talking to you. I doubt that.

[UPDATE: Vidal on Kucinich's impeachment proceedings.]

    Asked to name a few good novelists, he goes straight to Philip Roth and Norman Mailer. Jeezus christ, it’s 2008. Get over your generation.
