Two Sisters is Gore Vidal’s fictional memoir of a love affair with a beautiful set of twins in post-war Paris – a story skilfully interwoven with notebooks, diaries and the vivid fragment of a screenplay set in ancient Greece.

In seductive settings from a brothel in a Parisian backstreet to the rooftops of seventies Rome, Vidal assembles his characters, real and imagined: Cocteau and Tennessee Williams, Gide and Mailer rub shoulders with creations as unforgettable as the ageing femme fatale Marietta Donegal and Hollywood hustler and flagellant Murray Morris. All are bound together in a mesmerising fiction that builds to an extraordinary conclusion.
