Smile Politely is Champaign-Urbana's independent online magazine. "Too hot to be wrestling."Bob laughed and suddenly grabbed him.

Vidal's hugely controversial, ground-breaking 1948 novel The City and the Pillar, which had a whole bunch of gay stuff in it that was most certainly not casually accepted at the time, was black-listed by The New York Times. On the Augustinerplatz in the center of the city, a perplex pillar spreads colorful. Vidal first made a name for himself with the 1948 publication of The City and the Pillar, a book that created turmoil because its main character is openly gay without also being seen as unnatural. He has got to be one of the best writers of the twentieth century. That the Times even deigned to interview Vidal was noteworthy. I wanted to do a professional job and ask good, thoughtful, intelligent questions. That's all we have, finally, the words, and they had better be the right ones. Perhaps the hysterical reaction to The City and the Pillar was what started a long process of alienation from the Establishment into which Vidal had been born. THE CITY AND THE PILLAR, GORE VIDAL ASTERIOS POLYP, DAVID MAZZUCCHELLI THE BEST AMERICAN NONREQUIRED READING 2009…I look forward to the new collection every year! But I probably wasn't ready to read it then. His masterpiece novel, The City and the Pillar, published in 1948, was the first mainstream novel in the United States to explicitly approach the subject of homosexuality. Just finished Gore Vidal's “The City and the Pillar,” a novel to which I should have treated myself years ago. His third novel, The City and the Pillar, featured a homosexual as a main character and bookshops refused to stock it. Since 2009 the city of Freiburg in South Germany has a tolerance zone. He was even forced to work under pseudonyms during the 1950s.
