He wrote 25 novels, some forgettable, others of sweeping scale and scope, in which factual “memoirs” of great men were intercut with asides by onlookers. A stout cluster, covering the history of the Republic from Aaron Burr to Lincoln to the Golden Age, made his name, but never established him as a literary insider. Because he chose not to worship at the altar of middle-class marriage, because he wrote freely about homosexual experience (notably in “The City and the Pillar” in 1948), the New York Times would not review his books for years, and others followed. This irked him not at all, except financially. He became a temporary adventurer in television and in Hollywood, producing the screenplays for “Ben Hur” and “Suddenly Last Summer” and five Broadway plays.
