One of the greatest chroniclers of gay life reveals his own turbulent story frankly, entertainingly and shockingly. In fact I’m told when this was published in America one of the chapters was deleted. I’m not telling you which but I think you’ll find it!
No one has ever been more frank, lucid, rueful and entertaining about growing up gay in Middle America than Edmund White. Best known for his autobiographical novels, White takes the fiction out of his story and delivers the facts in all their shocking and absorbing verity. From an adolescence in the 1950s, an era that tried to ‘cure’ homosexuality, he emerged into a 1960s society which re-designated his orientation as ‘acceptable (nearly)’.
