I don't want to be respectable
"I don't want anything. I don't want a job. I don't want to be respectable. I don't want prizes. I turned down the National Institute of Arts and Letters when I was elected to it in 1976 on the grounds that I already belonged to the Diners Club."
Gore Vidal
A selection of photographs by Hedi Slimane of the great writer, orator, political pundit and wit Gore Vidal has been published.
I have the deepest admiration for this man, and have written about him before - here and here.
These photos are stunning, and thanks to the lovely people over at The Pandorian for alerting me to them...
