With the publication of his latest novel, A Previous Life (Bloomsbury), Edmund White joins the ranks of the great prolific artists who end their careers on a note of high ribaldry.Įxamples abound in all genres, but an ideal one is Gioachino Rossini, who capped a lifetime of brilliant opera composition that today would earn him the honorific of "influencer" with a suite of piano pieces, Sins of My Old Age, that reveled in his undiminished musical genius, just more intimately.īefore they're kidnapped in a metafictional heist, the main story lines of A Previous Life are everything a long-term White reader could want.
