以小说、随笔和剧本等不拘一格的形式忠实地记录了美国历史的重要变迁和非常事件的作家戈尔·维达尔去世了,享年86岁。维达尔的侄子伯尔·斯蒂尔斯说,周二(7月31日)晚上,维达尔在洛杉矶家中死于肺炎并发症;多年来,他还身患多种心脏疾病。出身名门望族的维达尔被广泛赞誉为最伟大的美国作家之一,其政治评论尤其引人注目,譬如他坚决反对伊拉克战争,认为美国已经背离了自己的草根阶层,变成了一个强权帝国。
Gore Vidal, a writer who faithfully recorded the important changes in the history of the United States and extraordinary events in the form of novels, essays and scripts, died at the age of 86. Vidal’s nephew Burr Stilles said Tuesday night (July 31) night, Vidal died of pneumonia at home in Los Angeles complications; over the years, he also suffered from a variety of heart disease. Vidal, a well-known family, is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest American writers. His political commentary is particularly noticeable. For example, he firmly opposed the Iraq war and believed that the United States has turned itself from a grassroots level and turned it into a power empire.
