American author and celebrity Gore Vidal has passed away -- and you can find an incredible number of articles, obituaries, tributes, dissections, etc. at all your favorite literary (and seemingly every other) sites.
I've barely read anything of his -- Creation, when it came out -- though I did happen to buy a copy of The Judgment of Paris at the local Goodwill a month ago (and though I only paid a dollar for it, that's still more than the 75 cent cover price of that 1965 Signet paperback ...); the handy pocket size as well as the back-cover copy ("the irreverent odyssey of a young American in Europe's pleasure playgrounds, and his seduction by three erotic women of an older, more pagan world") were just too good to pass up.
