Description

White's poised yet scalding autobiographical novel is the story of a young man's coming of age in 1950s and 60s America.

"With intelligence, candor, humor--and anger--White explores the most insidious aspects of oppression... An impressive novel."--Washington Post book World

The country has no room for a scholarly teenager with guilty but insatiable stirrings toward other men. Moving from a Midwestern college to the Stonewall Tavern on the night of the first gay uprising--and populated by eloquent queens, butch poseurs, and a fearfully incompetent shrink--The Beautiful Room is Empty conflates the acts of coming out and coming of age.
