'I find it impossible to imagine anyone better read than White ... Wisdom and a certain kind of tenderness are to be found on every page' Observer Edmund White made his name as a writer but he remembers his life through the books he read. For White each momentous occasion came with books to match: Proust's Remembrance of Things Past which opened up the seemingly closed world of homouality; the Ezra Pound poems adored by a lover he followed to New York; the biography of Stephen Crane that inspired one of White's novels. White's larger-than-life presence on the literary scene lends itself to fascinating intimate insights into the lives of some of the world's best-loved cultural figures. Blending memoir and literary criticism The Unpunished Vice is a sensitive smart account of a life in literature.
