Which critic gave this statement about Gore Vidal? "Essays are what he is good at ... [Vidal] is learned, funny, and exceptionally clear-sighted. Even his blind spots are illuminating."

  • A Terry Eagleton
  • B Frederic Jameso
  • C Raymond Williams
  • D Martin Amis
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Martin Amis is the correct answer because the statement describes Gore Vidal's skill in writing essays, and Martin Amis is known for his own expertise in essay writing. The description of Vidal as learned, funny, and clear-sighted aligns with Amis' reputation as a talented and insightful writer. Additionally, the mention of Vidal's blind spots being illuminating suggests a level of admiration and understanding, which is consistent with Amis' appreciation for Vidal's work.
