I have been a fan of Denton Welch for over 30 years. Have quite extensive collection of his books.
Fantastic!
this was a great conversation and Edmund is amazing and I am glad that his doing well because he deserves the best
Thanks! And I completely agree!
I could listen to Ed talk all day, he's so insightful!
Yes, he's such a joy to listen to.
A great conversation! I finished 'In Youth is Pleasure' just the other day and am currently reading White's 'The Farewell Symphony'!
Wow, great timing then! Thanks for watching. The Farewell Symphony is such a powerful novel.
Delightful! I always wondered what Edmund White sounded like and now I know.
I have just revisited this interview to listen to Edmund White as I have just finished A Saint in Texas which I enjoyed.
Oh good! Glad you enjoyed the novel.
Very interesting, thank you both!
What a wonderful interview. Life changing for me. Thank you. I’m off to purchase the Saint from Texas.
Thank you!
Excellent conversation. I've enjoyed several of Mr. Whites novels and I shall now read Denton Welch.
Thank you!
Loved it and thank you so much, Edwin and Eric. Am looking forward to all Edmund White's future books... Keep them coming! Love you Edwin White... and you too, Eric

A great conversation.
Only read one Edmund White novel
A Boy's Own Story. Which contains the longest sentence I ever read as it came in at 212 words.
I purchased for my Kindle Denton Welch novel; In Youth is Pleasure.
The judges use the authors views on certain issues rather than the book itself?
Eric, will you be interviewing Edmund for his new novel, A Previous Life? That would so interesting and fun!
Such a great interview. I still haven't read "The Farewell Symphony", but hope to get it read before the end of this year. And I recently got my hands on his upcoming novel ("A Previous Life" - to be released in january 2022) and I'm so excited.
This was such a delightful interview- thanks, Eric! I love your interviews, and how you’re able to make them feel like conversations, but also give lots of space for interesting insights.
The whole section about sneaking in slang into work, and it being delivered by a woman to ‘de-fang’ it, was fascinating!
And I’m even more excited to get to Sybille Bedford’s ‘Jigsaw’ after hearing the story of how it got to the Booker shortlist.
Thank you so much! It's such a privilege to speak to authors I admire.
Yeah, I love the thought of straight readers reading the novel and sort of skipping over those terms while gay readers would have read it knowing exactly what he meant.
I'm keen to read Jigsaw too now!
@@EricKarlAnderson Yes! The radio comedy ‘Round The Horne’ used to sneak in Polari and slang references all the time, and the majority of the audience just thought the hosts were using funny affectations, rather than the more subversive elements that were going on!
Well this was one epic conversation! And I'll definitely be watching this again. I'm a big fan of Denton Welch. I've only read Edmund White's 'Rimbaud: Life of a Rebel' and I loved it. But definitely going to check his own books out, along with the writer Firbank he mentions in your conversation.
Thank you! I'm sure you'll enjoy Edmund's many other fascinating novels and biographies - especially his epic on the life of Jean Genet.
@@EricKarlAnderson I'll check out that Jean Genet bio. I wasn't aware of that :) Thanks Eric!
An interesting conversation covering a wide range of authors, ideas and philosophies.
Thank you and Ed so much for doing this, Eric. I loved it. Maybe you could do one with Ed and Joyce together? Good idea?
Ah, that'd be great!
What a treat!! How did you meet Mr. White??
I met him a loooong time ago at a book signing and we went for dinner. Such a lovely man.
@@EricKarlAnderson How wonderful you've kept up.....I think he wishes he was a little younger..haha🤭

Are you reading White’s new novel A Previous Life, Eric. I am really enjoying it. I hope you can do another chat video with him on it?
I’ve not read it yet but it’d be great to have another discussion with him.
