Palimpsest: A Memoir is a 1995 autobiographical book by the celebrated American author and public intellectual Gore Vidal. The title refers to the concept of a palimpsest—a parchment where the original text has been scraped off to make room for new writing—which Vidal uses as a metaphor for how human memory shifts and layers over time.The memoir focuses on the first 39 years of his life (from his birth in 1925 until 1964). It offers a sharp, witty, and often biting look into his private life, his literary rise, and his deep connections to the political and cultural elites of the 20th century.
