Myra Breckenridge is a vicious novel. I did not see any humor in a novel about a transexual who sexually harasses her male student, sodomizes him, and then steals his girlfriend by lying. Throughout, there are wild speculations about sexuality, novels and movies. The whole thing appears to have been made up to provoke people but to what purpose? Vidal reminded me of a certain type of very intelligent person who exists who says outrageous things just to get attention and a charge out of people. Since they are insincere in what they say, once you catch on to the game they turn out to be bores and pretty pathetic. Myra herself typifies the kind of fascist mentality that would never allow her, a transexual, to exist. I didn't laugh once at this one. Myron had a few laughs, however. Again, this pretentious transexual causes havoc (mainly on a movie set) but some of it is so juvenile that it is funny in places.
