Project MUSE - MFS Modern Fiction Studies - (E)Racing Edmund White: Queer Reading, Race, and Sexuality in A Boy’s Own Story
A history of racialized sexuality in the US suggests that sexuality is saturated by race even in American literature written by white gay men. Reading Edmund White’s coming out novel, A Boy’s Own Story, in relation to a little-known work of gay pulp fiction, André Tellier’s Twilight Men, the essay provides a fictional example of the ways white gay identities might be seen simultaneously to collude with and undermine the history of whiteness. The essay also elaborates a strategy for queer reading of the incoherencies of sexual identities within multiple historical discourses.

JAMES BALDWIN: HIS VOICE REMEMBERED
The dichotomy amounted to an obsession in much of his work; it was certainly a part of my own, and I think our common preoccupation helped make us good friends.

It was a frightfully cold winter, a good time for the Southern writer, who had never known a black man on intimate terms, and the Harlem-born writer, who had known few Southerners (black or white), to learn something about each other. I was by far the greater beneficiary. Struggling still to loosen myself from the prejudices and suspicions that a Southern upbringing engenders, I still possessed a residual skepticism: could a Negro really own a mind as subtle, as richly informed, as broadly inquiring and embracing as that of a white man?

The past few years have seen the publication of a number of volumes that mine the multiple perspectives of William Faulkner’s writing. Ted Atkinson’s Faulkner and the Great Depression: Aesthetics, Ideology, and Cultural Politics (2006) explores the ways in which various characters in Faulkner’s novels written during the years of the Great Depression express conflicting ideologies regarding that economic crisis, and Margaret Donovan Bauer’s William Faulkner’s Legacy: “What Shadow, What Stain, What Mark” (2005) seeks to uncover previously hidden or silenced perspectives in Faulkner’s works by rereading his novels backward through the lenses of writing by other southerners since Faulkner. -

And there were other factors for using our military skills, minor but significant: these reasons return us to the ongoing malaise of the white American male. He had been taking a daily drubbing over the last thirty years. For better or worse, the women's movement has had its breakthrough successes and the old, easy white male ego has withered in the glare.
