The Pox Lover by Anne-Christine D'adesky
Offers a personal history of the turbulent 1990s in New York City and Paris by a pioneering American AIDS journalist, lesbian activist, and daughter of French-Haitian elites. In an account that is by turns searing, hectic, and funny, Anne-Christine d'Adesky remembers the poxed generation of AIDS - their lives, their battles, and their determination to find love and make art.-
