Description
“A black comedy about the AIDS crisis that is by turns raunchy, hilarious, and heartrending”—The Advocate
The national bestselling novel of a young gay man living in NYC at the height of the AIDS epidemic.
At times dark, at others funny, and as important today as when it was first published, Eighty-Sixed follows the live of B.J. Rosenthal as he searches for a boyfriend and tries to find meaning and purpose within a city suffering from the fear, loss, loneliness that accompanies the HIV/AIDS crisis.
Over only a few years, B.J.’s life changes shape dramatically, and he finds himself navigating the ever more frightening landscape of an epidemic-rattled 1980s NYC, where he’s as likely to go on a hook up with a new prospect as he is to attend a funeral for a friend. This must-read piece of classic LGBTQIA+ literature provides a crucial look at what it meant to be gay and seeing love, safety, and community in a rapidly shifting and increasingly dangerous world.David B. Feinberg was an American writer and AIDS activist. He was the author of two novels, Eighty-Sixed and Spontanous Combustion, and an autobiographical essay collection, Queer and Loathing: Rants and Raves of a Raging AIDS Clone.US
