The City and the Pillar: A Novel by Gore Vidal. €� Genesis 19:26 ---------- Jim liked Shaw, though he never believed him when, together at night, he would tell Jim how much he loved him. But his wife looked back from behind him and she became a pillar of salt. Bangkok City Pillar Shrine & The Guardian spirits in the City Pillar Shrine Bangkok Province Thailand Bangkok City Pillar Shrine is the important place of Thai people. REVIEW: As one of the first novels about homosexuality, the story is contemporary and interestingly relevant to the exploration of one's sexuality. Jim and Bob are all American teens who spend their last night of summer together. After publishing a Hemingway-style war novel when he was barely twenty, he attracted unusual attention in 1948 with his third novel, The City and the Pillar. The City and The Pillar follows the life of a very confused boy named Jim. The golden pillar, standing in the center of the temple, is joined by a second pillar made by Rama I'VE. When Jim was young he never really dated girls, or had any interest in them. Jim leaves home in search of Bob, his only love. The New York Times refused to review his next five books. It's near the Supreme Court, opposite to Wat Phra Kaeo. Like any self-respecting American who considers himself even the slightest but literarily inclined, I was already a fan of Vidal's work. The City and the Pillar was the first gay novel that I read, unaware that it had practically killed his career in the 1950s, forcing him to work under pseudonyms. In any case, I never felt Vidal's sexuality was the point: he told us as much about his romantic life in his first novel, “Williwaw,” and in “The City and the Pillar,” as I find necessary. An iconoclast ahead of his time, he candidly wrote about homosexuality in an early novel, The City and the Pillar, which got him blacklisted by book critics at the New York Times.
