Nocturnes for the King of Naples is a 1978 novel by Edmund White. The novel is written as a series of letters addressed to a nameless former lover of the anonymous narrator.
The cover of the first paperback edition was illustrated by Mel Odom. It was Odom's first illustration for a book.[2] The original drawing, titled 'Smoke', appeared at auction in June 2019 at Sotheby's for an estimate of $4,000 - $6,000.[3]
White includes an exert from W. B. Yeats's poem 'Meditations in Times of Civil War' before the first chapter.
