Our young man

White, Edmund, 1940-2017
Books, Manuscripts
New York City in the 80s. At its decadent heart is Guy, top male model and darling of Fire Island's gay community. Like a modern-day Dorian Gray he seems untouched by time: the decades pass, fashions change, yet his beauty remains as transcendent and captivating as ever. Such looks cannot help but bring him adoration. From sweet yet pathetic Fred to the wealthy and masochistic Baron, from the acerbic and cynical Pierre-Georges to Andre, fabricator of imitation Dalís, hurtling towards prison and the abyss. But just as the years are catching up on his smooth skin and perfect body, so his way of life is closing in on him and destroying the men he loves.
