Extractions: Edmund White was born on January 13, 1940, in Cincinnati, Ohio. His father was, according to White, "a small entrepreneur who made a lot of money and then lost most of it during the time when small businessmen were being superceded by big corporations." When White was seven his parents divorced, and he went with his mother and sister to live on the outskirts of Chicago. Summers were spent with his father in Cincinnati. In his 1991 essay titled "Out of the Closet, Onto the Bookshelf," White has written, "As a young teenager I looked desperately for things to read that might excuse me or assure me I wasn't the only one, that might confirm an identity I was unhappily piecing together. In the early 1950s, the only books I could find in the Evanston, Illinois, Public Library were Thomas Mann's Death in Venice (which suggested that homosexuality was fetid, platonic and death-dealing) and the biography of Nijinsky by his wife (in which she obliquely deplored the demonic influence of the impresario Diaghilev on her saintly husband, the great dancer—an influence that in this instance had produced not death but madness)."

Extractions: Edmund White Edmund White was born on January 19, 1940 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His parents divorced when White was seven years old. He moved with his mother and sister to Evanston. He has written of searching for books in the Evanston Public Library about homosexuality and found only Thomas Mann's Death in Venice and a biography of Nijinski. Neither book painted an attractive picture of life as a homosexual and did not ease his desperation as he tried to piece together his identity. White was schooled at Cranbrook Academy and then studied at the University of Michigan (his major was Chinese). He moved to New York City and embarked on a five year relationship with another man. From 1962 - 1970, White worked for Time-Life Books. After a year in Rome, White came back to the U.S. and worked as an editor at The Saturday Review and Horizon . He and six other gay writers in New York formed the Violet Quill in the mid-1970's./ This group included Andrew Holleran, Robert Ferro, Felice Picano, George Whitmore, Christopher Cox, and Michael Grumley. The Violet Quill met in the apartments of its members where they read and offered critiques of each other's work. White has published several critically and commercially successful books: Forgetting Elena (1972) and Nocturnes for the King of Naples (1978) as well as two largely autobiographical novels A Boy's Own Story (1982) and The Beautiful Room is Empty (1988).

Edmund White A Legacy of Names for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgenderand queer communities. Edmund White. Short Biography. Excerpt
http://www.queertheory.com/histories/w/white_edmund.htm

Extractions: A B C D ... Scholars Index A Boy's Own Story (Vintage International) by Edmund White An instant classic upon its original publication, A Boy's Own Story is the first of Edmund White's highly acclaimed trilogy of autobiographical novels that brilliantly evoke a young man's coming of age and document American gay life through the last forty years. The nameless narrator in this deeply affecting work reminisces about growing up in the 1950s with emotionally aloof, divorced parents, an unrelenting sister, and the schoolmates who taunt him. He finds consolation in literature and his fantastic imagination. Eager to cultivate intimate, enduring friendships, he becomes aware of his yearning to be loved by men, and struggles with the guilt and shame of accepting who he is. Written with lyrical delicacy and extraordinary power, A Boy's Own Story is a triumph.

Extractions: UAlbany's Uptown Campus The Married Man Edmund White rose to prominence in the gay community with the publication of The Joy of Gay Sex in 1977, followed by States of Desire: Travels in Gay America in 1980. But White established himself as one of the finest American writers in any genre with the publication of A Boy's Own Story (1982). "With A Boy's Own Story ", said The Washington Post , "American literature is larger by one classic novel." The San Francisco Chronicle said that the novel is so ambitious in its intention and so confident of its voice that it reminds us what a singular and potent thing a novel can be." The Married Man (2000), tells of a gay love affair between a middle-aged American and a younger Frenchman in the Age of AIDS. "Written with characteristic brilliance and the particular flair for poetic detail that so distinguishes his books, Edmund White's new novel is arguably his best to date," said the London Times The Beautiful Room is Empty (1988) and The Farewell Symphony (1997), both sequels to

Extractions: In 1994, when Edmund White was asked to do an interview for this issue, he decided instead to interview himself. Q: Could you describe your early unpublished novels? A: But there are so many of them! When I was fifteen I wrote my first novel, prophetically about "coming out" and called "The Tower Window." It was all about a boy very much like me called Peter Cross (a bit of Christ imagery there, for I saw myself as a martyrstrange, since I hadn't read any of the pathetic gay literature of the period, in fact nothing gay except the life of Nijinsky by his wife). The story recounts how Peter falls for a handsome man he meets on the beachthe passage is described with elab-orate orchestral metaphors, the first "sounding" of the musical "themes"in my later writing (all ridiculously inept, according to Ned Rorem, who can't bear for amateurs to write about music). I was so swamped by my own thoughts and reflections when I started writing this novel that I decided on an absurd strategy to discipline the proliferation: my narrator would never have any access at all to Peter's thoughts and would have to divine them from his facial expressions, etc. This novel I wrote in a sustained fever as soon as I arrived at boarding school. I did my homework in the afternoons when other kids were playing sports, which gave me nothing to do during the two-hour evening study hall except work on my book. My mother, ever indulgent to my wished-for talent, had her typist type my nearly illegible mss. While at Cranbrook (my prep school) I wrote a second novel, "Mrs. Morrigan," for a senior honors thesis, a course I took with an eccentric we dubbed Mr. "Wombat." I quickly discovered that I wrote best when I had an audience to read out loud to soon after the completion of my latest, hottest pages. And they
