Edmund White
1988
Around 240 pages
I had a professor who was part of the Stonewall riots and he was probably the coolest person I have ever met. What an amazing time to be alive.
Continuing from A Boy Own's Story, we get White's semi-autographical experience as a gay person in the 1950s and 60s.
I don't have too much to say about this one. White is a talented writer, and really has a way with conveying life experiences through a series of vignettes that is very digestible and real. And the more novels that acknowledge the existence of gay people, the better.
RATING: ****-
