'Every so often a novel comes along that is so ambitious in its intention and so confident of its voice that it reminds us what a singular and potent thing a novel can be' San Francisco Chronicle
Edmundova trilogie Série
Tato série zkoumá komplexní vnitřní svět mladého chlapce, který se potýká se svou odlišností a hledá své místo ve světě. Romány mistrně proplétají autobiografické prvky s fikcí, ukazují střet mezi chladným pozorováním a hlubokou touhou po přijetí a lásce. Čtenáři budou fascinováni pronikavým pohledem na dospívání, zranitelnost a hledání vlastní identity. Je to nadčasový příběh o univerzálním lidském úsilí o pochopení sebe sama a spojení s ostatními.

When the narrator of White's poised yet scalding autobiographical novel first embarks on his sexual odyssey, it is the 1950s, and America is "a big gray country of families on drowsy holiday." That country has no room for a scholarly teenager with guilty but insatiable stirrings toward other men. Moving from a Midwestern college to the Stonewall Tavern on the night of the first gay uprising--and populated by eloquent queens, butch poseurs, and a fearfully incompetent shrink--The Beautiful Room is Empty conflates the acts of coming out and coming of age.
