John-Manuel Andriote began reporting on the AIDS epidemic while he was a graduate journalism student at Northwestern University in the mid-1980s.
An updated and expanded second edition of Victory Deferred, Andriote's award-winning history of AIDS in America, will be available in paperback and e-book format in October 2011.
Kirkus Reviews called the original University of Chicago Press hardcover edition of Victory Deferred, "The most important AIDS chronicle since Randy Shilts' And the Band Played On."
The Washington Post said, "In his nearly two decades of reporting on AIDS, Andriote has interviewed every major player, and it shows."
A regular contributor to the Washington Post, a columnist for The Bulletin in Norwich, Connecticut (Andriote's hometown, to which he returned in 2007, after 22 years in Washington, DC), and a featured speaker at universities and conferences, Andriote has shown his ability to tackle a variety of subjects with a depth of research and clear, literate writing that Publishers Weekly has called "excellent."
Besides Victory Deferred, Andriote is the author of Hot Stuff: A Brief History of Disco (HarperEntertainment), The Art of Fine Cigars (Bulfinch/Little Brown), and a privately published history of The Metropolitan Club of Washington, one of the capital city's oldest and most prestigious private clubs.
