'I find it impossible to imagine anyone better read than White - Wisdom and a certain kind of tenderness are to be found on every page' Observer
Edmund White made his name as a writer, but he remembers his life through the books he read. For White, each momentous occasion came with books to match- Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, which opened up the seemingly closed world of homosexuality; the Ezra Pound poems adored by a lover he followed to New York; the biography of Stephen Crane that inspired one of White's novels.

White's larger-than-life presence on the literary scene lends itself to fascinating, intimate insights into the lives of some of the world's best-loved cultural figures. Blending memoir and literary criticism, The Unpunished Vice is a sensitive, smart account of a life in literature.
