- Synopsis
- Vital Signs: Essential AIDS Fiction brings you the very best of the extraordinary literature that has emerged in America in response to our greatest contemporary health crisis. Since first reports of a "gay cancer" in 1981, it has been hard to ignore the politics, polemic and prejudice that gathered around AIDS that a literary genre also emerged, featuring many of our finest writers, has received much less attention. This collection documents the critical years of struggle, bravery, loss and redemption in eighteen unique examples of the novelist's imagination and artistry. Inventive, moving, humane and uplifting, these stories show us how to live in times of uncertainty and adversity. They offer, indeed, a plethora of vital signs. This collection launches Carroll and Graf's Transmissions series. Co-edited by Richard Canning and Dale Peck, Transmissions is dedicated to making available the very best of the literature about AIDS.
