Why people keep bringing this up
Myra Breckenridge comes up repeatedly on the Joe Rogan Experience across two episodes (#2240 with Roger Avary & Quentin Tarantino and #2220 with Francis Foster & Konstantin Kisin). In one conversation a speaker explicitly links the book to its screen adaptation, saying they watched the film and read the book afterwards "because they thought it was cool." That pattern of film-to-book comparison appears to be an immediate reason the title resurfaces in discussion on the show. The book is also raised as an example of Gore Vidal’s provocative reputation: a guest on episode #2220 calls Vidal "brilliant but a weirdo man" and refers to the work as a "nutty book about a troll transgender woman who, like Raquel Welch played in the movie." Those characterizations — the author’s eccentric public image and the movie tie-in — provide concrete hooks that prompt hosts and guests to bring the title back into conversation.
