		So it was with a sense of anticipation that I approached Leavitt's story, wondering whether he had subtly or even decisively expanded the boundaries of the literary and the erotic.

	Dead Again
		While Leavitt’s methods are as varied as his tone — one tale takes the shape of a police interrogation, another is composed entirely of e-mails — a somber, contemplative mood hangs throughout.
		Leavitt also explores the lure of deception in "Black Box." Here a man’s lover dies in a mysterious intercontinental plane crash.
		One senses Leavitt would be more at home in the late-19th and early-20th century, when drawing room conversation was a lively sport and the voluptuous celebration of interior life — however sordid — was the focus of literature.

		Leavitt's case against Green is a legal gambit that will be scrutinized by polygamists, adulterers and self-styled swingers throughout the state.
		Leavitt, who is the younger brother of Gov. Mike Leavitt, says he began investigating Green last year after the polygamist appeared on NBC's "Dateline" newsmagazine program at a time when two members of Utah's polygamous Kingston family were being prosecuted for child abuse and child sexual abuse.
		The prosecutorial "prong" of the statute reached an investigative nexus when Leavitt, according to Green, attempted to force one of Green's wives during a deposition to admit she was his lawful wife.

		Leavitt's latest is a fictionalized memoir of a young writer's coming of age.
		In Martin, Leavitt creates a character whose literary talent and ambitions are not necessarily at odds with but certainly outstrip his ability to create a life that is either personally, sexually, or romantically fulfilling.
		One senses that Leavitt was trying to show growth at least in his eponymous character, but he fails, and Martin Bauman is the same unformed adolescent at the end of the novel.

		However, Leavitt does use him to issue a laundry list of advice to writers -- ``never write `boyfriend stories,' stories in which the protagonist is a writer, stories set in restuarants or cocktail lounges'' -- which Martin proceeds to violate for the next 350 or so pages.
		Leavitt used the ``cheat'' conceit to wonderful effect in his 1997 novella ``The Term Paper Artist,'' but it fails this time.

		So when David Leavitt "borrowed" materials from Spender's autobiographical "World Within World" for his novel "While England Sleeps," it seemed almost like a case of necrophilia -- a vampiristic author filching from the undead.
		A more likely possibility is that Leavitt failed to grasp that for Spender -- who had written novels, plays, memoirs and many volumes of poetry and essays -- "World Within World" was his narrative as well as his greatest achievement.
		David Leeming has written a biography that is more interested in Spender the socialite -- the collector of the great -- than in Spender the writer.

	SALON \| Media Circus
		Nearly every copy of Leavitt's last novel, "While England Sleeps" (1993), was snatched from bookstores by its publisher immediately after the late English poet Stephen Spender filed suit, alleging that Leavitt had based the homoerotic novel on an episode from Spender's life.
		Now copies of Leavitt's new book, "Arkansas: Three Novellas" (Houghton-Mifflin), are hitting bookstores, and they contain at least one sentence you're not likely to see in future editions -- a bit of fine print about how one of the book's novellas "originally appeared in Esquire." This didn't happen.
		It's that Leavitt is one of the least interesting writers about sex alive today; he writes scenes that, in a straight novel, would be hooted off the page.

		In Maremma recounts David Leavitt and Mark Mitchell's restoration of a dilapidated 1950's farmhouse in southern Tuscany and the process by which they became initiated into a part of Italian life that foreigners rarely see.

	'The Pate Turner: A Novel' by David Leavitt
		Most novels, even ones that are good throughout, lose air at the end, as if the author, so happy to be done, just lets the whole bundle drift to a stop.
		This is not a deep book, and it is not a page turner, but it has its lyric moments and some interesting takes on common themes and good characters.
		Leavitt deals nicely with the subjects of fame and genius, juxtaposing the young Paul's vision of fame as interesting against Kennington's weariness that fame has always gotten in the way of his artistry.

	Florence : A Delicate Case (Writer and the City) - David Leavitt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This book is just a boring rendition of sort-of famous people who lived or live in Florence, coupled with David Leavitt's intention of showing you all the famous or important people he knows.
		I also found it difficult to reconcile Leavitt's bitchiness about the lack of contact the earlier generations of ex-pats had with the locals (to the point of "like many" not knowing any Italian) with the lack of presence of any contemporary Florentines in his narrative, given that he is a part-time resident himself.
		I loved the chapter about the "mud angels", brief as it was, and would have enjoyed more about the relationship between locals and expats alike with the art of this wonderful city.
