«Myra Breckinridge» is Gore Vidal's satirical novel, published by Debolsillo in paperback (257 pages, in Spanish).
A transsexual woman, Myra Breckinridge, sets out to settle scores with a man-ruled world. In this satire, Gore Vidal uses that premise to reflect on gender identity, sexuality, and the social values of the era.
The novel was originally published in 1968. This Spanish edition belongs to the Contemporánea collection and includes the translation by Rosendo Castillo.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
