Great essays/stories on AIDS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This was a great collection from Holleran. I think it's first printing was limited as it was even a little hard to get a first edition when it was published. Anyway, this collection is both funny and heartbreaking. Similar to Feinberg's collection, but I think he says more with laughter and tears than Feinberg did with anger. Highly recommended.
Evocative essays on AIDS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is at times stunning, at times difficult to read, always worthwhile. It can be compared to David Feinberg's brilliant, scathing "Queer and Loathing: Rants and Raves of a Raging AIDS Clone," especially in the hard-hitting gallows humor of the essay "Fashion 1985." These essays are similar to Holleran's effort in the late John Preston's anthology "Personal Dispatches." Although Holleran is most famous for his short stories, and the novels "Dancer from the Dance" and "The Beauty of Men," this may turn out as his most enduring work -- witty, angry, heartbreaking.
