Exhaustively wonderful. An unflinching, romantic, and generous climax by a bright star in our literary constellation. The gayest book ever written * Henry Hoke, author of Open Throat * Ecstatic, so funny, tender, very hot - a scintillating romp with a literary lion. Daddy's diary fully delivers, pungent and real, teeming with gasp-worthy disclosures, as illuminating as it is filthy. * Jeremy Atherton Lin, author of Gay Bar * One of the patron saints of queer literature, a new book from Edmund White is always a cause for celebration. The Loves of My Life feels like the culmination of a profound wisdom - wry, hilarious, moving, and brilliantly unreserved. This litany of lovers becomes a sort of community in itself, full of vitality and difference. White is still breaking taboos in the most joyous and virtuoso style * Seán Hewitt, author of All Down Darkness Wide * A journey through the uplit plains of lust, desire, sex, and belonging – utter perfection … a powerful reminder to take nothing for granted not even shared orgasm or the end of oppression * Michael Cashman, author of One of Them * Edmund White’s The Loves of My Life is a raw, frightening, funny, and beautiful testimony, brimming with transgressive wisdom. White asks all the right questions, forcing me to expand much of what I imagined about desire and longing. * Robert Jones, Jr., New York Times bestselling author of The Prophets * I don’t know anyone, except Edmund White, who’s had ‘thousands of sex partners.’ I definitely don’t know anyone who writes so ebulliently about former lovers. In his panoply of sexual encounters, Edmund White’s love of sex makes us proud to human. And the story of his sex life reads like a beautifully crafted, very moving (and very funny!) novel. * John Irving * The books by 80-year-old American novelist, memoirist and essayist Edmund White—honest, fierce and joyful explorations of love, sex and family—have been breaking boundaries and engaging readers for nearly 50 years. * AARP * Nearly 50 years after the great Edmund White co-authored The Joy of Gay Sex, we get even more joy, more candor, and more of White's peerless literary style in a witty and highly personal memoir devoted to a lifelong love of sex, and of sex and love. Fabulous - and inspiring! * Bill Hayes, author of Insomniac City: New York, Oliver, and Me *
