The Loves of My Life: A Sex Memoir by Edmund White
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 1950 s to the Arcadian gay debauchery of New York in the 1970 s; 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 gay canon.
