The first personal account of AIDS, this ground-breaking classic remains as vividly rendered and fiercely moving as anything written on the topic since. More than just a record of the early states of the plague, Paul Monette's chronicle of his relationship with Roger Horwitz is also a supremely moving love story. From the night of their first meeting, to Roger's diagnosis a decade later, and through the last two years of Rogers' life, when fighting the disease together became a full-time occupation, Monette evokes a picture of what it means to fully live and love- even while dying. -From back cover.
