William Styron: 1925-2006

A couple weekends ago, I went to a dinner party that felt like it had been scripted by Wes Anderson. Across from us was a black-clad woman who told us she'd spent the day getting her furs out of storage.  Next to her sat a stunning French-Iranian journalist for Le Monde.  And the guy to our right, a tweedy blond fellow, started every sentence with "As Gore Vidal said to me the other day…" 

Feeling like a nine-year-old in overalls next to this crew, I said, "I don't think I've ever actually read any Gore Vidal.  Have you guys?"

The fur lady had not. The French journalist had.  As for Vidal's blond protégé, he said, "I'm waiting until he dies.  That way, I can deeply regret that I never had the chance to talk to him about his work while he was still alive."

I've never read any William Styron.  Sophie's Choice has been on my book list for years, but I can never talk myself into curling up with a harrowing novel about the Holocaust. Even if I had read it, though, it's unlikely that I'd ever have the chance to sit down with Styron and ask about his work.  But with these old writers who've lived out the century, it always feels particularly tragic — morbid, but tragic — when you read the obituary before you get to read any of actual books.

  • I do accept as true with all the ideas you have offered in your post. They are really convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are too quick for novices. May just you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.

  • The next occasion Someone said a weblog, I am hoping that this doesnt disappoint me as much as this. Come on, man, I know it was my choice to read, but I just thought youd have something intriguing to talk about. All I hear is a couple of whining about something you could fix when you werent too busy trying to find attention.
