Author Description

**From Goodreads:** Andrew, a person with AIDS, here recounts his life, calling it "a story of just one gay man who enjoyed life, who enjoyed being gay, who loved his lover as much as one man can love another, and who will die before he is thirty." The love of his life is Teddy, and their relationship, at turns passionate and turbulent, provides the primary focus of the novel. Together for a couple of years, then separated, they reunite when Teddy develops AIDS. It is not until after Teddy's death that Andrew's AIDS is diagnosed. Andrew's life parallels the evolving gay world around him, from fresh-eyed innocence to joyous abandon to cautious fear to new hope. A well-written, contemporary novel, moving and thought-provoking.
