As a model for Brinker Hadley I used Gore Vidal.
jay parini and gore vidal respectively, the united states of amnesia / john knowles, a separate peace

#that elliot roosevelt line… kind of cunty. spirit of gore is in that one. to me#this is also just an excuse to share the gore vidal alan cumming wasabi story. because im OBSESSED lik#alan says he ''miraculously didn’t implode'' and basically just took a swig of his drink after he did That#but every so often he heard him making weird grunts… it was his first time having wasabi CRAZY OLD MAN#that article overall is kind of bleak though like. vidal was known as combative and bitchy for a reason#and cumming comes to the conclusion for a number of reasons that he and his partner had crazy intimacy issues which i don't think is like a#crazy thing to believe about him/them. like he had issues. i can say this because we are good and close friends.#howard was gore’s life partner#their relationship kind of sat on the border between friendship and romance but everyone refers to howard as his partner#which gore never contradicted#he talks about howard in his memoir point to point navigation after the former’s death#which is like. sad. they lived together for over 50 years literally they shacked up very soon after he came out of the war so like YOUNG#and he was reportedly kind of miserable in the last 8 years without howard#a separate peace#gv#web weaving#brinker hadley#john knowles#gore vidal#OH ALSO he was related to a number of politicians most notably jackie o by marriage#so like the elliot roosevelt line isn't entirely unwarranted
