the last book I ever read (Edmund White's The Beautiful Room is Empty, excerpt two)

from The Beautiful Room is Empty by Edmund White:

We found ourselves in her dormitory room. Like everything else in the art academy, her room had a distinctive odor I’ve never encountered since except once, recently, in the Chanel boutique of a Paris department store. I almost asked the saleswoman what the smell could be, but the most important things in our intimate lives can’t be discussed with strangers, except in books.
