Doing an emergency blog post on my phone to report that Brad Gooch just shared the news that the writer Edmund White has died.
Brad writes:
Dear Ed White (1940-2025) longtime friend and hilarious, perennial lunch buddy. You were like no one else in my life or in all of our literatures. Another world has cratered. #edmundwhite
Much more will be said and written about this influential and prolific wordsmith -- whose debut novel, "Forgetting Elsa," came out in 1973 and whose most recent work, "The Loves of My Life: A Sex Memoir," came out earlier this year. But for now I’ll just say: Rest in peace, you dirty old man. You will be remembered.
UPDATE: The appreciations are pouring in BELOW.
