Jack Holmes & His Friend
Jack Holmes and Will Wright arrive separately in New York at the start of the 1960s. They’re coworkers at a cultural journal, and become fast friends. Jack even introduces Will to the woman he will marry. Their friendship, however, is complicated by a simple fact: Jack is in love with Will.
Edmund White’s moving Jack Holmes and His Friend sees the friendship through two decades, from the first stirrings of gay liberation through the AIDS catastrophe. Throughout, Jack remains devoted to Will. As Will starts pursuing short-lived liaisons with men, the city itself seems to discover a newfound sexual freedom. White brings narrative daring to this masterful exploration of friendship during a watershed moment in history.
