Title: Exquisite banality
Review: I think White is a marvelous writer, his sentences and imagery are superb. Now if only his plots could sustain them. The story of one lover caring for another through AIDS is not entirely new, but here White presents it in a more unflinching way than possibly previously read. For most of the novel, I found myself swinging from bored by the slow-moving story to enraptured by the language, but when I reached the last third of the novel I became more involved with the characters and the story, where I couldn't put down the novel. White's lack of chronological timekeeping is a nuisance, by the way. Like some works of art, the novel is quite beautiful, but inaccesible to a lot of people. I didn't get what all other readers are getting from this novel. Yes, it's beautiful. But it's also tedious and lacking.
