Secret Places by Tobias Schneebaum
In this biography, Schneebaum seeks to intertwine the varied strands of his experience, pondering his life as a gay Jewish New Yorker and his years amongst the Asmat. The result justaposes the Asmat celebration of the spirits of the dead and New York, plagued by AIDS, and its own sad spirits.
