Edmund White

Edmund White's essay on the current gay-fiction renaissance in last week's Voice reminded me that just a few weeks ago I came across a chapter of his memoir My Lives (Ecco) in the New Yorker. It is titled "My Women" and is one of the best pieces of memoir writing I've come across in a while; this post exists solely so that I can encourage you to read it.
