Once the narrator of White's poised yet scalding autobiographical novel first embarks on his intimate odyssey, it's the 1950s, and America is "a major grey country of young families on drowsy getaway." That country has no room for a scholarly teenager with guilty but insatiable stirrings toward other men. Moving from a Midwestern school to the Stonewall Tavern on the night of the first gay uprising - and filled by eloquent queens, butch poseurs, and a fearfully incompetent shrink - The Beautiful Room is Clear conflates the works of coming out and coming old.
