A literary cause célèbre when first published more than fifty years ago, Gore Vidal’s now-classic The City and the Pillar stands as a landmark novel of the gay experience.

Jim, a handsome, all-American athlete, has always been shy around girls. But when he and his best friend, Bob, partake in “awful kid stuff,” the experience forms Jim’s ideal of spiritual completion. Defying his parents’ expectations, Jim strikes out on his own, hoping to find Bob and rekindle their amorous friendship. Along the way he struggles with what he feels is his unique bond with Bob and with his persistent attraction to other men. Upon finally encountering Bob years later, the force of his hopes for a life together leads to a devastating climax. The first novel of its kind to appear on the American literary landscape, The City and the Pillar remains a forthright and uncompromising portrayal of sexual relationships between men.

真的不是很好的一本。情节过渡生硬，像是由不同的板块拼接而成，写作痕迹明显。不知道作者65年改写结局是出于什么目的，也说不清到底是哪个结局更sensational。这本在同性文学史上的地位可能真的就是时代意义了吧。

love and death.最初版本的结局我很喜欢，初恋果然都很难忘么?????

用来打破浪漫妄想的一部小说,性感的部分都很收敛,能产生共鸣而且不造作

love and death.最初版本的结局我很喜欢，初恋果然都很难忘么?????

行文简洁，读起来非常流畅。和我国现在的LGBT类小说调调很像（落后了70年，或许还不止????），但更克制，也更绵长。需要电子版的书友，请豆邮！
