The Loves of My Life: A Sex Memoir by Edmund White

Pre-order - publishes 28 January 2025.
 
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.
