From the legendary author Edmund White, a stunning, revelatory memoir of a lifetime of gay love and sex.
“Some people celebrate turning 85 with grandchildren, gardening or a nice cake. White has published a gaspingly graphic, jaunty and tender sex memoir: a guided tour of gay desire in which libido is the wellspring of just about everything.” ―New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)
“White once estimated he'd had three thousand partners . . . and his prose here, as ever, is so redoubtably stylish that I almost wish he'd enshrined every last tryst in print . . . Line for line, I can't recall the last time I enjoyed reading anything so much.” ―Harper's Magazine
“With his trademark irreverence, White celebrates more than six decades of sex in a candid memoir that doubles as an indispensable work of queer history . . . Delightfully raunchy and affecting, this steamy account is full of pleasures.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review
