Quote by Edmund White
In the case of my book, I dont think its really the coming-out gay

In the case of my book, I dont think its really the coming-out gay novel that everyone really needed, even though it was received as such. The boy is too creepy, he betrays his teacher, the only adult man with whom hes enjoyed a sexual experience, etc. – Edmund White
