Review title: Where's [the] Gore?
Product review: A biography of Anais Nin without a single mention of Gore Vidal!Noel Riley Fitch, in his ANAIS: THE EROTIC LIFE OF ANAIS NIN, devotes a whole subchapter to Vidal. Though why Fitch writes a biography in the present tense is beyond me. This is as silly an approach as Beverly Lowry's in her biography of Madame C. J. Walker, HER DREAM OF DREAMS. Biographies are history, not fantasy. The lives of the dead have happened, are not happening as we read or as their biographers write. Please!Better yet, read, Fred Kaplan's biography of Vidal and get more of Nin then Fitch gives us of Vidal.
