He had an incredible life and was such an original thinker. Just the list of people he knew (since childhood) is mind-blowing. I recommend his voluminous essay collection United States or the more personal Palimpsest.

Yeah if you’re looking to read something by Gore, I also recommend some of his essays. The fiction is good too but less noteworthy IMO.

For an easy watch his Vidal in Venice documentary is great for giving a feel of him. His intelligence and his vanity.
