What aspects of “like” are you looking for? All of aspects? No, he was quite the original package. Glenn Greenwald ticks off a couple of categories, but are you looking for anything in particular?
There’s no writers of this sort anymore.
There’s people of similar political leanings, but not from such an American blue blood background.
Like looking for the Beatles in some band, and it turns out to be Oasis (gorf), or the second coming of Elvis.

Bingo.

The real question is, is there anyone like Norman Mailer, Truman Capote or William F Buckley nowadays?
