Edmund White
Foreword by Garth Greenwell
“Artful vignettes from a life passed between Bohemian and cafe societies, in Italy and Spain, on a decaying American estate, on the New York piers . . . It is exquisite prose . . . A writer of great talent and high art.” —John Yohalem, The New York Times
The letters of a seducer to the great love of his life, a sensual tour-de-force by “the paterfamilias of queer literature” (New York Times).
Nocturnes for the King of Naples
Edmund White
Foreword by Garth Greenwell
A “near perfect poetic effusion disguised as a novel, [written] in the voice of a younger man who rejects a sophisticated, well-traveled, and widely-admired older lover.” —Nick Radel, Gay and Lesbian Review
Jane Ellen Harrison
Foreword by Daniel Mendelsohn
The arch, witty, outspoken memoirs of the pioneering archaeologist and scholar whom Mary Beard has called “my hero.”
Reminiscences of a Student's Life
Jane Ellen Harrison
Foreword by Daniel Mendelsohn
“This charming memoir by classicist and educator Harrison (1850-1928), published in 1925 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf, and now reissued with an introduction by Daniel Mendelsohn, offers a graceful portrait of a spirited woman. At times curmudgeonly, at times irreverent, always shrewdly perceptive.” —Kirkus Reviews
Henry Van Dyke
Foreword by Erik Wood
“His debt to Truman Capote, Carson McCullers, Tennessee Williams and other writers of the [light-decadent] style is perfectly obvious, yet the voice here is his own—amused, intelligent, slightly eccentric . . . A talented writer and a brave one.” —Eliot Fremont-Smith, The New York Times
A lost midcentury classic—the farcical misadventures of a queer Black teen sharing a house with two adoptive mothers, a lascivious cook, and a reticent ghost.
Ladies of the Rachmaninoff Eyes
Henry Van Dyke
Foreword by Erik Wood
“The prose descriptions are lyrical, the dialogue is witty and caustic, and the poignant denouement is artfully contrived . . . Ladies of the Rachmaninoff Eyes belongs as much with Terence Rattigan and Noël Coward as with Langston Hughes and James Baldwin.” —Lindsay Johns, Times Literary Supplement
