This book offers an ironic rumination on the cultural phenomenon of AIDS. It also provides a view of the AIDS epidemic from a new vantage point.

Trade Review
“The diary is full of Michaels’s rage and frustration; it is also full of a wild kind of humor that can, under extreme circumstances, be the heart’s only alternative to feeling—to paraphrase Swift’s epitaph—lacerated by indignation.”—From the preface by Michael Moon
