Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A "New York Times" Notable Book of the Year When Marion Winik fell in love with Tony Heubach during a wild Mardi Gras in New Orleans, her friends shook their heads. For starters, she was straight and he was gay. But Marion and Tony's impossible love turned out to be true enough to produce a marriage and two beautiful sons, true enough to weather drug addiction, sexual betrayal, and the AIDS that would kill Tony at the age of thirty-seven, twelve years after they met. In a memoir heartbreaking and hilarious by turns, Marion Winik tells a story that is all more powerful for the way in which it defies easy judgments. As it charts the trajectory of a marriage so impossible that it became inevitable, "First Comes Love" reminds us—poignantly indelibly—that every story is a special case. From National Public Radio commentator Marion Winik, author of Telling, comes a memoir of breathtaking candor—an affecting yet rigorously unsentimental story of the extraordinary passion between a straight woman and a gay man. "Decidedly unfaint-hearted."—The New York Times Book Review. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780679765554
