A PREVIOUS LIFE - EDMUND WHITE TASCHENBUCH

______________ 'Elegant  filthy - and quite possibly the queerest thing you will read all
year.' - Guardian 'Intriguing and inventive.' - Electric Literature  Most Anticipated LGBTQ+
Book of the Year 'A dizzyingly enticing and kaleidoscopic take on the spectrum of sexual
experiences.' - Publishers Weekly  starred review _____________ A daring  category-confounding
and ruthlessly funny novel from National Book Award honored author Edmund White that explores
polyamory and bisexuality  ageing and love. Sicilian aristocrat and musician  Ruggero  and his
younger American wife  Constance  agree to break their marital silence and write their
Confessions. Until now they had a ban on speaking about the past  since transparency had
wrecked their previous marriages. As the two alternate reading the memoirs they've written
about their lives  Constance reveals her multiple marriages to older men  and Ruggero details
the affairs he's had with men and women across his lifetime-most importantly his passionate
affair with the author Edmund White. Sweeping outward from the isolated Swiss ski chalet where
the couple reads to travel through Europe and the United States  White's new novel pushes for a
broader understanding of sexual orientation and pairs humor and truth to create his most
fascinating and complex characters to date. As in all of White's earlier novels  this is a
searing  scintillating take on physical beauty and its inevitable decline. But in this
experimental new mode-one where the author has laid himself bare as a secondary character-White
explores the themes of love and age through numerous eyes  hearts and minds. Delightful 
irreverent  and experimental  A Previous Life proves once more why White is considered a master
of American literature.
