You don’t need to go digging for symbolism in them, even if he doesn’t bother to dumb down his themes or his acerbic wit. The best novels by Gore Vidal, by contrast, are fantastically easy to read simply as entertaining stories. Some of his work, like his essays on literary criticism, are impenetrably dense even to people who are acquainted with their subject matter. Thompson, Philip Roth, and Kurt Vonnegut.
