I saw that this book had not yet been reviewed. It was so good that I had to try to encourage others to pick it up. I read it at work & many of my co-workers could not understand how a book on AIDS could be good. It must be too depressing. Well, yes. It is sad. But so is Long Days Journey into Night, Anne Frank's Diary & many other works of an enduring nature. This collection clearly presents the human condition & human nature. Ironicly, the collection is spiritually uplifting. The works, of course, are predominantly of Gay men & their loved ones. But there are others; and all characters are presented first & foremost as Humans, not Gay nor Straight; not Black nor White; not Jewish nor Goy. Bottom line: It is moving and affecting. It is cathartic. And anyone who wants to know what it is to lose a loved one to anything ought to read it.
