Book Synopsis
When an artist dies we face two great losses: the person and the work he did not live to do. This book is a moving collaboration by some of America's most eloquent writers, who supply wry, raging, sorrowful, and buoyant accounts of artist friends and lovers struck down by AIDS.

Trade Review

A reflective, self-possessed, and frequently inspiring testimonial, benefiting from the perspective that only time provides."" - David Bahr, The Advocate
