Original Youth The Real Story of Edmund White's Boyhood

"Fleming's brief biography is careful to display his literary and scholarly research; he only occasionally flashes the trump card of insider knowledge....Most of this history is more brilliantly covered in White's own writing; yet, for all that, Fleming's book is an interesting study--of, among other things, the differences between an inside and an outside account....What makes the book interesting is the contrast between White's vivid accounts and Fleming's more prosaic ones: there is a certain sort of practical explanation for events that simply runs against the grain of art; and Keith Fleming works this line well."Fleming, Keith is the author of 'Original Youth The Real Story of Edmund White's Boyhood' with ISBN 9781931160209 and ISBN 1931160201.
