Title: Rambling, overly long, hard-edged view of gay life
Review: More ambitious and not as compelling as Mr.White's other "gay" novels, "The Farewell Symphony" is nevertheless a worthwhile reading experience. There's no story or "plot" to speak of in this "autobiographical novel." The narrator relates the experiences of his life in almost a stream-of-consciousness fashion. I found the jumping around from character to character and situtation to situation and the lack of structure annoying at times.
Is the review positive or negative?
