Review
"The release of Watney's latest book . . . is cause for careful assessment of the current discourse on HIV/AIDS. All of the essays are written from the author's perspective as a committed AIDS activist, and thus have the ring of impassioned indignation that only someone deeply immersed within the politics surrounding the epidemic could muster."
--David McCarthy," New Art Examiner"
"In reading Simon Watney’s essays we witness the pain, anger, and brilliance of one of the most longstanding AIDS activists and critics. How fortunate we are to finally have this work collected in a single volume."—Cindy Patton, author of "Inventing AIDS"
"Simon Watney provides a thought provoking analysis of the profound cultural crises generated by the AIDS epidemic."—Dr. Joseph Sonnabend, Community Research Initiative on AIDS
