«París» is Edmund White's travel essay, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
After sixteen years living in the French capital, Edmund White offers a personal portrait of Paris from the perspective of a wanderer with no apparent aim, attentive to the history of the place and to corners that visitors and even Parisians tend to ignore, in search of aesthetic and erotic adventures.
It belongs to the VIAJES collection (no. 61) and its original title is «The Flâneur». Translation by Ana Herrera Ferrer.
For readers interested in travel literature and in discovering a lesser-known Paris from a personal perspective.
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.
