A review by micahlawrence
The Beautiful Room Is Empty by Edmund White

5.0

Edmund White’s prose is undeniable. He is one of the most important gay authors of all time and I adored this book.

This the 2nd in a trilogy of fictional memoirs. I read the first one in my teens, depicting his coming to grips with his sexuality as I was struggling with mine. I just finished this book coming up on my 29th birthday, the age of the protagonist at the end of this novel.

Can’t wait to read the last in a few years and continue growing alongside these books.
