Description
With his trademark wit, candour, and relentlessly perceptive eye, Edmund White, the beloved 85-year-old ‘paterfamilias of queer literature’ (New York Times), delves unflinchingly into the aspect of his life which has inspired so many of his masterpieces: sex.
Documenting everything from covert fumblings in the repressed American Midwest of the 1950s to the Arcadian gay debauchery of New York in the 1970s; through the terror of HIV and the age of sex on the apps, White has seen – and experienced – it all.
Unyieldingly honest, outrageously raucous, and arrestingly touching, The Loves of My Life can but further cement White’s unquestionable role at the apex of the gay canon.
