From the supplier: Edmund White's novels, short stories and nonfiction reflect a narrow distinction between fiction and nonfiction, partly because White's first profession was journalism. White writes with the practicality drawn from his Midwest upbringing. His ability to interweave factual and fictional worlds is firmly in the tradition of George Eliot, Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde. White's fiction shows influences from Vladimir Nabokov and Christopher Isherwood, and his stories tend to focus on initiation.
