Extraordinary good piece by @willoyd.bsky.social on Gore Vidal! www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2025/1...

Thank you!

Don’t know why @willoyd.bsky.social doesn’t post much on here. His interview with baffled reactionary Kruger is telling. Including this quote

The wonderful world of Prince Andrew Queen Elizabeth’s second son had everything he ever wanted. That was the problem.

It’s Sunday and the end of August 🙁 but cheer yourself up with this extraordinary book review by @willoyd.bsky.social - the online version longer and much better than the hard copy
