I, too, when out with Ed. On one of our “dates” I would be amused by the responses the public would have when seeing us out together. Ed and I would both play it up to the hilt and derived devilish amusement from seeing people’s reactions. Of course, a night out is a night out, an afternoon at the theater is an afternoon at the theater, a frolic at the ballet is a frolic. Who’s to say what constitutes a date when you’re on the town with the famous Edmund White, who was as recognizable in and around Manhattan as was/is Fran Lebowitz. My, but weren’t we lucky to call him “friend,” even for a brief time.
