This anthology offers readers an

as well as criticism and analysis of AIDS writing.

''Simultaneously illustrative of forms of expression and of the sexual politics and social debates that mark this growing body of work. A compelling slice of 'literary AIDS'.'' -- Paula A. Treichler, coeditor of Cultural Studies
