- Summary:
- AIDS has become an enormous aspects of the everyday. This essential collection encompasses the broadest range of voices yet heard. These pieces - essays, memoirs, letters, and diaries - are social, political, and spiritual in nature. Whether angry or hopeful, funny or sad, they speak to us about love and stamina; about ordinary courage, alone and in brave company. Each one, powerful and complete, attains the eloquence of witness. -- adapted from back cover
