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' SEAN HEWITT, author of Open, Heaven\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54911764955509,"sku":"9781526686701","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526686701.jpg?v=1736346342","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526686701","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
