The Way We Write Now: Short Stories from the AIDS Crisis

AIDS has changed all of us - perhaps intimately, perhaps indirectly - and the sixteen stories in are about all of our lives. As affecting as they are varied - here are brothers and sisters, parents and babies, doctors, and patients - these short stories reveal just what is of value in the brief time we have in this world. The diverse ways AIDS has infused new experiences of love, loss, eroticism, illness, tragedy, and courage into the province of contemporary fiction is powerfully displayed in this collection by a wide range of celebrated and gifted writers.
