Reviews
-
I find it impossible to imagine anyone better read than White … Wisdom and a certain kind of tenderness are to be found on every page
Rachel Cooke, Observer
-
White is above all else a writer's writer: one of the great prose stylists of our time ... An afternoon stroll with a Grade-A literary flâneur … There are few paragraphs that pass by without an illuminating, wise or funny comment
Tim Smith-Laing, Daily Telegraph
-
As a peerless chronicler and interpreter of gay American life before, during and after the age of Aids, as a connoisseur of French (and so much other) literature and as a Princeton professor of creative writing, White never lost touch with that spirit of antic mischief … Much more fun – and more surprising – than a leisurely ramble through favourite works by a 78-year-old giant of letters has any right to be
Spectator

Praise for Edmund White

-
A writer blessed with ... [an] elusive gift, and it should probably be called wisdom
Daily Telegraph
-
His writing finds itself echoing Proust ... Since the publication of A Boy's Own Story thirty years ago, [White's] own prose style has hardly aged a day
The Times
