The usual pronouncement that Truman Capote is a 'birdbrain.' Gore {Vidal} has finished a novel called Two Sisters in which he admits that he and Jack Kerouac went to bed together-or was that in an article? {Gore told me about so many articles he's written and talks he has given that my memory spins.} Anyhow, Gore now regrets that he didn't describe the act itself; how they got very drunk and Kerouac said, 'Why don't we take a shower?' and then tried to go down on him but did it very badly, and then they belly rubbed. Next day, Kerouac claimed he remembered nothing; but later, in a bar, yelled out, 'I've blown Gore Vidal!
