  About the Author - Edmund White
White's novels include his allegorical fantasia on Fire Island life, Forgetting Elena (1973), Nocturnes for the King of Naples (1978), and the first two volumes of a projected autobiographical tetralogy, A Boy's Own Story (1982) and The Beautiful Room Is Empty (1988).
White's friends saw his character shot luxuriantly through with mischief and desire, oscillating between discipline and anarchism, and always receptively ready for the ludicrous and the hilarious aspects of a life spent existing primarily in the colliding worlds of sex and art.
White's writings look forward to a future of culture as one unlimited by either the rigidity of political correctness, or by the persecution of individuals for their race or sexuality (for White, the power structures behind those two forms of repression have a resemblance).
