There was one Edmond White book I kinda, sorta liked. Was it his coming-of-age novel? I think it must have been.

And then I tried to read other books by him, and they were just awful! Truman Capote parodies. So, I never could figure out how he came by his literary reputation. Was it because there was so little literature that was unapologetically gay literature when White first began writing? Maybe.
