Eugene Luther Gore Vidal born Eugene Louis Vidal October 3 1925 - July 31 2012 was an American writer and public intellectual known for his epigrammatic wit erudition and patrician manner. Vidal was bisexual and in his novels and essays interrogated the social and cultural sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. As a novelist Vidal explored the nature of corruption in public and private life. His style of narration evoked the time and place of his stories and delineated the psychology of his characters. His third novel The City and the Pillar offended the literary political and moral sensibilities of conservative book reviewers the plot being about a dispassionately presented male homosexual relationship. In the historical novel genre Vidal recreated the imperial world of Julian the Apostate r. AD 361-363 in Julian. Julian was the Roman emperor who attempted to re-establish Roman polytheism to counter Christianity. In satire Myra Breckinridge explores the mutability of gender roles and sexual orientation as being social constructs established by social mores. Quentin Fiore February 12 1920 - April 13 2019 was a graphic designer who worked mostly in books. Julian is a 1964 novel by Gore Vidal a work of historical fiction written primarily in the first person dealing with the life of the Roman emperor Flavius Claudius Julianus known to Christians as Julian the Apostate who reigned from 360 to 363 A.D. Julian was the last direct relative of Constantine the Great to take up the purple his father being Constantine's half-brother. As emperor he attempted to destroy the influence of the Christian church. His goals were to bring back firstly the worship of the old Roman pantheon secondly other religions including Judaism he attempts to restore the Jewish Temple and thirdly - with special emphasis upon the growing crisis on Rome's frontiers - Mithraism a mystery religion that had been popular among Roman soldiers. The book takes the form of the correspondence between two Hellenistic pagans Libanius who is considering writing a biography of Julian and Priscus who possesses Julian's personal memoir.
