(Like, what’s a Benson Boone? JK.) Thankfully, brushing up on your pop stars got a lot easier with this clever and handmade twist on the classic board game Guess Who, available for $39.95 on Etsy.Artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, and Prince are represented within its 24-card deck, but you’ll have to supply your own shady opinions.Legendary gay author Edmund White — dubbed the “paterfamilias of queer literature” by The New York Times — is cracking open his little black book with new memoir, The Loves of My Life ($26 hardcover and $9.99 for Kindle on Amazon).With candidness, wit, and a little bit of naughtiness, the 85-year-old recounts the rendezvouses that built him: closeted Midwestern boys in the ’50s, women while coming to terms with his orientation, fraught and tense moments during Stonewall, and modern-day app adventures.
