In Our Young Man, a gorgeous French model named Guy becomes the toast of New York City. The latest novel from creative writing professor Edmund White, who was named New York’s 11th state author in January, explores gay life from the disco era to the age of AIDS. Guy’s romances with older, wealthy men force him to reflect on the hypnotic power of physical beauty.
