Winner of both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, New York Times best-selling author Gore Vidal is one of the true masters of American letters. In this extraordinary memoir, Vidal recalls his accomplishments and defeats, discusses the friends and enemies he has made, and contemplates the nature of mortality.

In the Navy during World War II, Vidal was forced to use point to point navigation whenever compasses failed. It is an apt analogy for his life, which has been filled with glorious triumphs as well as spectacular controversies. Never afraid to enter uncharted waters, Vidal has had relationships with innumerable luminaries, including President Kennedy, Tennessee Williams, Eleanor Roosevelt, Orson Welles, Greta Garbo, and others.

Thoroughly engaging and, of course, provocative, Point to Point Navigation is the fascinating story of an American icon. Vidal himself narrates this memoir, intimately sharing the stories of his own life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"In short, the memoir is a perfect encapsulation of Vidal's outsized personality." (Booklist)

To date, I have not read any of Gore Vidal’s books, and was not very familiar with him. This biography was available to me for free, as part of Audible Plus, so I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to listen before I lost access. I listened to a few previews of his novels, to see if I liked his writing (I did!) before I spent the time. It was definitely time well spent. He had a very interesting life (much of it in Italy) and was very well connected in the USA. I was surprised that I even got insights about Amelia Earhart as I listened. I really liked that he narrated his book himself. Recommended.

An enjoyable listen
