Edmund White
Edmund Valentine White III (born January 13, 1940) is an American novelist, as well as a writer of memoirs and an essayist on literary and social topics. Much of his writing is on the theme of same-sex love. Probably his best-known books are ''The Joy of Gay Sex'' (1977) (written with Charles Silverstein) and his trio of autobiographic novels, ''A Boy's Own Story'' (1982), ''The Beautiful Room Is Empty'' (1988) and ''The Farewell Symphony'' (1997).
==Early life==
Edmund Valentine White was born on January 13, 1940, in Cincinnati, Ohio. White largely grew up in Chicago. He attended Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan as a boy. Afterwards he studied Chinese at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1962.
Incestuous feelings existed in White's family; his mother was attracted to him. White spoke of his own sexual attraction to his father in an interview: "I think with my father he was somebody who every eye in the family was focused on and he was a sort of a tyrant and nice-looking, the source of all power, money, happiness, and he was implacable and difficult. He was always spoken of in sexual terms, in the sense he left our mother for a much younger woman who was very sexy but had nothing else going for her. He was a famous womanizer. And he slept with my sister!"〔Interview with Edmund White, David Shankbone, ''Wikinews'', November 8, 2007.〕 He has also stated: "Writing has always been my recourse when I've tried to make sense of my experience or when it's been very painful. When I was 15 years old, I wrote my first (unpublished) novel about being gay, at a time when there were no other gay novels. So I was really inventing a genre, and it was a way of administering a therapy to myself, I suppose."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Steve Dow, Journalist )〕
