Myra Breckinridge/Myron Myron
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Penguin USA
- Publish date: 09/01/1997
In the sequel, Myron, the Breckinridge saga takes an increasingly bizarre turn. Myron seems to be an inconspicuous man with a sweet wife and a Chinese catering business, and Myra, determined to become a megastar, wages an outrageous battle for hormonal supremacy over the body she shares with Myron. In a tale that combines time-travel with the ultimate Hollywood fantasy, Gore Vidal leads us through the movie-star world of the fabulous forties as Myra attempts to alter cinema history.
When Myra Breckinridge first appeared in 1968, critics were delighted, baffled, and somewhat appalled by this comedy of sex change. (Readers made it the number-one best-seller.) Time magazine queried: "Has literary decency fallen so low?" Perhaps they should have asked, Has literature ever been so witty, so provoking, so intriguing? Thirty years later Myra has become literature's most famous transsexual. After all, this is her/his/their age.
