...still ardently missed by many, many New Yorkers--Harvard Hall provides a welcome refuge from outside stresses (no less pronounced in and around Harvard Yard, perhaps, than in midtown Manhattan), a place for either relaxed conversation or solitary reflection, in which the human spirit can take wing and soar. Without a single exception that I know of, every one of the Club's 10,000-odd members takes pride in their Harvard Hall and delights in showing it off to guests; to them, even aware, as they are, of the club's need for more office space and bedrooms...

But Vidal tells us that his third novel, The City and the Pillar, published in the unenlightened '40s and featuring an overtly homosexual love story, alienated the literary establishment and set him apart as a refugee in his own land. Later we follow him into the bright worlds of television and Hollywood, until he eventually takes refuge in the Old World of Ravello, in Italy, where he has lived for the past 30 years...
