Earlier this year, Gore Vidal sat down with Riz Khan to discuss Italo Calvino, an author whose work Vidal greatly admires. We're publishing the interview now in commemoration of Calvino's birthday on October 15, 2011. He would have been 88 years old.

  • "Hitchens identified himself for many years as the heir to me ... unfortunately, for him, I didn't die." Gore Vidal , October 2009

  • How crazy is it that vidal outlived hitchens

  • Gore Vidal has an engaging MANNER of speaking. Unfortunately, there is a difference between manner and matter.

  • Many thanks. I thought he'd made his peace with Mailer - apparently not.

  • thank you I love this video

  • His passion is still keen. The skeleton poking to the front of him is telling of a soon departure. I hope it can be delayed a bit more though ^_^

  • At 5.40, such emotion. I have not seen this from GV before.

  • Nice to find Gore being interviewed about his craft for a change. It's time I grabbed myself a copy of Italo Calvino. Thanks for the upload.
