The Patron Saint of Queer Lit had HIV for 40+ years, and survived two strokes, a heart attack and the prevailing attitude that to be serious, one shouldn't be sexual
Thank you for your lovely tribute to the late great Ed White, who should have won the Nobel Prize IMHO. What a writer, so brave, lyrical, unique. And such a charming gentleman as well, always happy to chat while signing his beautiful books, always excited about what he was working on next.
Edmond was not seminal (deliberate pun) in my life as I was well into my 30s and professionally established. I enjoyed his books and recommended them to young gay patients, as liberating literature.
