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). White moved to France from 1983 - 1990. Cox, Whitmore, Ferro and Grumley and many more of White's closest friends had all died from AIDS during the time White lived in France. White himself is HIV-positive.

White attended the prestigious Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan as a boy, then studied Chinese at the University of Michigan . He later worked in New York as a journalist. From 1983 to 1990 he lived in France Incestuous feelings existed in White's family; his mother was attracted to him and his father was having sex with his sister. White spoke of his own sexual attraction to his father in an interview: "I think with my father he was somebody who every eye in the family was focused on and he was a sort of a tyrant and nice-looking, the source of all power, money, happiness, and he was implacable and difficult. He was always spoken of in sexual terms, in the sense he left our mother for a much younger woman who was very sexy but had nothing else going for her. He was a famous womanizer. And he slept with my sister!" White's best-known work is A Boy's Own Story , the first volume of an autobiographical-fiction series that continued with The Beautiful Room Is Empty and The Farewell Symphony , describing stages in the life of a gay man from boyhood to middle age. Several characters in these latter two novels are recognizably based on well-known individuals from White's New York-centered literary and artistic milieu.

Edmund White Speaks with Edmund White 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 elaborate 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

14. About The Author - Edmund White Information about the life and works of celebrated author edmund white. http://www.edmundwhite.com/

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)."

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z White, Edmund (b. 1940) page: One of the most prominent and highly acclaimed figures of contemporary gay literature, Edmund White works in many distinct categories of fiction and nonfiction. First gaining critical attention for his experimental fiction from such critics as Vladimir Nabokov, White has continued to explore the intersections of art and life. That the lives he treats are often those of gay men is not incidental to his work, yet he is not easily comprehended within the stereotypical bounds of "gay literature." Sponsor Message. His first novel, Forgetting Elena (1973), offers an amnesiac's view of a mysterious place much like Fire Island, with, as Simon Karlinsky observed, "its highly stylized rites, charades, and inbred snobberies." White cast his next novel, Nocturnes for the King of Naples (1978), in the form of a lament of a young man for his older lover, mixing mythic allusion and baroque description; a

His later works concentrate on the struggles, pleasures, and political stances of members of contemporary America's middle-class male homosexual community. These themes are evident in a semiautobiographical trilogy of novels tracing the protagonist's realization of his sexuality and coming of age (
