The Judgment of Paris is a novel written by Gore Vidal, first published in 1952. The story is set in the early 20th century and revolves around the character of Peter Sargent, a young American writer who travels to Paris to pursue his literary career.

The novel explores themes of art, love, ambition, and betrayal, and offers a vivid portrait of the vibrant cultural scene of Paris in the early 20th century.The Judgment of Paris is widely regarded as one of Vidal's best works, praised for its sharp wit, elegant prose, and insightful commentary on the world of art and literature.
