Here for your delectation is theSPECTACULAR & RARE-------------THE BURNING LIBRARY: ESSAYS by Edmund White, Edited by David Bergman.While White is best known for his novels, particularly A Boy's Own Story, this collection reveals what a fine essayist he is. White's descriptions of gay male life of the past 30 years and the changes in attitude that have occurred among gay men toward themselves and their sexuality are clear, forceful, intelligent, and thought-provoking. Non-gays can learn much about the American gay male experience. White offers other essays and reviews of the work of contemporary writers, American and European, gay and non-gay, such as James Merrill, Christina Stead, Darryl Pinckney, and Marguerite Yourcenar. This material, together with White's discussions of his own fiction, provides valuable insights into the reading and writing of literature.
