Remembering author Edmund White

This week, we’ve been remembering one of the most important figures in American gay literature.

Edmund White helped usher in a wave of literary coming-out fiction with his 1982 novel, “A Boy’s Own Story.” White died Tuesday in New York City.

NPR’s Neda Ulaby has our remembrance.
