"Every so often a novel comes along that is so ambitious in its intention and so confident of its voice that it reminds us what a singular and potent thing a novel can be" San Francisco Chronicle

Edmund White has crossed The Catcher in the Rye with De Profundis,
J. D. Salinger with Oscar Wilde, to create an extraordinary
novel
*New York Times*
The boy's self-portrait shines with authenticity, he is an
extraordinary but plausible mixture of sweetness and deviousness .
. . White's prose is marvellously sensual while his eye is sharply
satiric . . . outstanding
*Guardian*
