City Boy
In City Boy, celebrated author Edmund White takes stock of his time in New York in the sixties and seventies, and the results are nothing short of revelatory. In the wake of Stonewall and with the economy brinking on collapse, White was as likely to be rubbing elbows with William Burroughs at a cocktail party as cruising for rough trade in the warehouses along the Hudson. Combining his trademark confessionary tone with the youthful yearning of A Boy's Own Story, White’s New York years read as a wild adventure story as he effortlesly straddles intellectual pursuits with erotic conquests of every stripe. This is a moving and candid portrait of a time and place, bursting at the seams with famous names and cultural icons.
