Description

A work of singular accomplishment. Read the classic closing novel of Edmund White’s powerful trilogy that began with the critically acclaimed A Boy’s Own Story and The Beautiful Room is Empty. In The Farewell Symphony, Edmund White has drawn together his experience of gay life in the 80s and transformed them into a wonderfully witty and moving novel. Set in Europe and the US, and including portraits (thinly disguised) of some of the key figures of the time, The Farewell Symphony opens up a world which is painfully and fascinatingly real.
