The Last of the Mochicans

Now if I do things in three.I save the best for last.
I would have to vote for this author as an all time American.
He's everything I would believe that America stood for,stands for...from freedom of speach to wry commentary of the lives of american politics this is the well from which I believe modernist American thinking can be garnered.
Gore Vidal.
From the City and the pillar...to the outrageous Myra Breckinridge
and thats on that little finger...here is an author who has made it his
personal ambition to log and file the human condition and in fact has raised awareness
of....the mores of the western world...So tell me I am wrong...but may his scathlingly funny appocolyptic novel 'kalki' never come to pass....
Politics
Sexual Behaviour
and the ambition of civilisation....
Now how do they make sound bites like that without getting it wrong
