'Trousers down from page one . NSFW' THE TIMES 'The gayest book ever written' HENRY HOKE, author of Open Throat 'Daddy's diary fully delivers' JEREMY ATHERTON LIN, author of Gay Bar -------------------------------------------- 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 of the gay canon. -------------------------------------------- 'A pointillistic canvas of gay desire and male sexuality' RALF WEBB, GUARDIAN 'Juicy, ebullient and ecstatic' OBSERVER 'Wry, hilarious, moving and brilliantly unreserved' SE Á N HEWITT, author of Open, Heaven.
