Don't listen to them anon, they are just my trolls. She most likely did sleep with women, but there is no actual evidence of it since people don't tend to record their sex lives for the pleasure of the public. She was also from a very conservative city, so even more so was it in her interest to keep that stuff private, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman in her bed.

I hope this was a typo.

But I would start with The Heart is a Lonely Hunter as it appeals to the widest audience. She writes about general loneliness in life, rather than, for example, the loneliness of adolescence in The Member of the Wedding, or the loneliness of death in Clock Without Hands. It has wonderfully intimate characters, very dreamy prose and a great story if you have the patience for it.

I often think that if I wanted someone to understand how I feel deep down I could hand them this book and feel completely understood.

Some people says Truman Capote was homosexual

[Anonymous No.20520348]

Our nearest evolutionary relatives bonobos utilize sexual contact as a social cohesion mechanism to increase group fitness. Problem with a rival chimping out? Give them a handy to chill them out.

Your neighbor being loud and annoying? Silence him with waves of ecstasy as you bring the sensations emanating from his prostate to the stratophere.

The fact men are capable of intense orgasm from anal sex likely indicates humans utilized all sorts of sexual contact and free physical love to maintain social bonds and facilitate group dynamics in the same way our closest evolutionary cousins do.

Also add to the fact human semen has euphoric and mood altering properties when swallowed, it is likely oral copulation serves an integral organizing force among primate social relationships.

Basically everybody sleeping with everybody was probably the default sexual norm for the vast majority of homo sapien history.

That's why all this fixation with labels is just kind of stupid, we're hypersexual social beings for the most part (

You've got it confused, they aren't talking about the genre, they're talking about Vidal's historical fiction which was seriously flawed.
