A gaspingly graphic, jaunty and tender sex memoir: a guided tour of gay desire in which libido is the wellspring of just about everything.

New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)

White once estimated he'd had three thousand partners . . . and his prose here, as ever, is so redoubtably stylish that I almost wish he'd enshrined every last tryst in print . . . Line for line, I can't recall the last time I enjoyed reading anything so much.

Harper's Magazine

One of [White's] best books . . . A brilliant argument for the importance of sex and love.

Gary Shteyngart, The Atlantic

[White] interwove the elegant and the explicit, he expanded the bounds of what could be written about and also how a life could be lived.

Olivia Laing, The Guardian

“The final offering from one of the most important queer writers of the past century, before he passed away a few months after its publication. A knock-the-wind-out-of-you account of the iconic author's great loves and great sexcapades, living in New York City pre-Stonewall, and pre-AIDS.
