Both sides (of the Atlantic) Now

Edmund White looks across the sea

"When I was 16, I met a New Yorker in his thirties who was visiting Chicago. I understood that the man was married and therefore wouldn't be attracted to me, but a local queen I knew said 'My dear, in New York they're very European.'

'In what way?'

'They're more bisexual. He might prefer women, but on a cold night in a strange city he might bed a boy'

I added bisexuality to my profile of 'the Europeans'"
