This review is from: The Way We Write Now: Short Stories from the AIDS Crisis (Paperback)

How sad that this beautiful, important collection of stories is already out of print, having only been published in 1995. With such "important" writers as Susan Sontag and Paul Monette and David Leavitt as contributors, this compilation is one that must be read and savored. The title refers, obviously, to the way that AIDS has forced itself into the daily lives of all of us. Who among us does not know someone who is now ill or who has already died of this disease? In point of fact, several of the writers in this volume are dead. But the volume is not a polemic. It is a wonderful, moving, at times funny, entertaining collection. My personal favorite is "In The Gloaming" by a writer I had previously never encountered: Alice Elliott Dark. Write to Citadel Press and get this book re-printed. A portion of its sale is donated to AMFAR and a program to help writers with HIV/AIDS.
