Description
Edmund White's life is one of literature, and his memoir is a testament to its power. Each momentous occasion in his life was marked by a book that shaped his understanding of the world. From Proust's Remembrance of Things Past to Ezra Pound's poetry, and from Stephen Crane's biography to novels inspired by it, White's love affair with literature has been a defining force. This is not just a story about a writer, but about how books have informed and influenced his life. In The Unpunished Vice, White offers a sensitive and smart account of his life in literature, blending memoir and literary criticism to create a unique and fascinating narrative.
