永恆的媚拉

Myra Breckinridge challenges norms in a way that still feels relevant today. I'm curious about what motivated Vidal to tackle these themes so unapologetically.

The book's satirical tone makes me wonder if Vidal intended to provoke discomfort alongside laughter. How did others interpret the balance between humor and critique?

Given Vidal's own complex identity and social views, I wonder how much of his experiences shaped the satire and characterizations in Myra Breckinridge.
