Jack Holmes and His Friend by Edmund White
3.0
A novel about the friendship between a semi-closeted gay man and his homophobic friend. Examines several relationships: between the two friends, a marriage, a long-lasting gay couple, a man and his mistress. Except for Jack, the characters are mostly cultural elites or from inherited wealth. This creates a somewhat claustrophobic atmosphere, but it meets the needs of the characters.
