GORE VIDAL: Where I was on 9/11, I was south of Naples in a town called Ravello.

I recently sat down with Gore Vidal to talk with him about where he was on September 11th. Gore Vidal, the author of 22 novels, five plays, many screenplays, more than 200 essays, his United States: Essays 1952-1992 is one of the great American books of the 20th century, won the National Book Award in 1993. It’s called Imperial America: Reflections on the United States of Amnesia. AMY GOODMAN: We turn now to Gore Vidal, current-concerned about the events of September 11th and many of the unanswered questions.
