Marksimpson.com .'Gay, Gayer, Gayist' Mark Simpson on Edmund White: "Gayism - an American invention and export - is not the antithesis of the American quest for self-revelation and perfection but the gym-buffed embodiment of it. White also realises that sexual identity has replaced sexuality, that gayness has, if you like, replaced sodomy; he doesn't always quite realise though how much he has contributed to that process, or cheered it on."
