«Écorché vif» is a book of nine stories by Edmund White, published by Editions 10/18 in paperback (285 pages, in French).
Nine stories about intimate experience and homosexuality in the age of AIDS, set in Europe and North America. Desire, love, jealousy, illness and loss run through stories where identity clashes with the need to be accepted: a teenager discovers his sexuality and a man tries to rebuild his life after the death of his partner.
It belongs to the «domaine étranger» collection from 10/18. French translation of the original «Skinned Alive: Stories» (1995); this edition was published on 7 June 2001.
For readers of LGBT fiction and short stories about identity and desire, with an autobiographical background.
Edmund Valentine White III was an American novelist, memoirist, playwright, biographer and essayist. A pioneering figure in LGBTQ and especially gay literature after the Stonewall riots, he wrote with rare candor about gay identity, relationships, and sex. His work emerged as part of an increasingly solidified and visible LGBTQ community, helping to reshape public narratives at a time when coming out was still a dangerous, even radical act. His writing, noted for intimate depth and literary elegance, includes the semi-autobiographical trilogy A Boy's Own Story (1982), The Beautiful Room Is Empty (1988), and The Farewell Symphony (1997). He also co-authored The Joy of Gay Sex (1977), promoting sex-positive discourse.
