“[A] mesmerizing and varied collection of essays…Als is a writer of many moods—meditative, sardonic, haunting, funny, reflective, and unconventional…He proves to be a compassionate writer looking for unity—even if it can’t always be found.”

Longlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award
"This book will change you." --Chicago Tribune
White Girls is about, among other things, blackness, queerness, movies, Brooklyn, love (and the loss of love), AIDS, fashion, Basquiat, Capote, philosophy, porn, Eminem, Louise Brooks, and Michael Jackson. Freewheeling and dazzling, tender and true, it is one of the most daring and provocative books of recent years, an invaluable guide to the culture of our time.
