Description
White’s poised yet scalding autobiographical novel is the story of a young man’s coming of age in 1950s and 60s America. “With intelligence, candor, humor–and anger–White explores the most insidious aspects of oppression…. An impressive novel.”–Washington Post book World The country has no room for a scholarly teenager with guilty but insatiable stirrings toward other men. Moving from a Midwestern college to the Stonewall Tavern on the night of the first gay uprising–and populated by eloquent queens, butch poseurs, and a fearfully incompetent shrink–The Beautiful Room is Empty conflates the acts of coming out and coming of age.
