"Edmund White is the wizard of American fiction. By turns and at once, his work is ecstatic and elegant, saucy and transcendent. This first look behind the curtain catches him at the controls--a writer whose human complexities intrigue, and whose artistry remains elusive, enthralling, essential. The Burning World crackles and gleams--a fascinating biography!" -J. D. McClatchy, Poet and Critic
"One of the best lives I have read in years. Time and again I found myself provoked not just to a new understanding of White's life and work, but to a fresh consideration of how for a gay person to fully identify as gay today sparks creativity. But only if that identity is seen not as limiting, but as contributing to the larger culture. One must see oneself as White clearly does: just as he is always but never American, so also his self-understanding, entirely gay is always more than gay." --Douglas Shand Tucci, author of The Art of Scandal : The Life and Times of Isabella Stewart Gardner
"It is, in truth, the writer and not the writing that is extraordinary--in the purity with which he has maintained a life in desire. ...Barber has written a brilliant book in celebration of this rare quality, and in places--I think particularly of his harrowing account of Hubert Sorin's death from Aids in Morocco--he rises to heights of which his subject (and friend) must surely be proud." --Independent on Sunday
