Chronicle of a Plague, Revisited: AIDS and Its Aftermath
Holleran & Andrew
Andrew Holleran’s Ground Zero, first published in 1988 and consisting of 23 Christopher Street essays from the earliest years of the AIDS crisis, was hailed by the Washington Post
as “one of the best dispatches from the epidemic’s height.” Twenty
years later, with HIV/AIDS long recognized as a global health challenge,
Holleran both reiterates and freshly illuminates the devastation
wreaked by AIDS, which has claimed the lives of 450,000 gay men as well
as 22 million others. Chronicle of a Plague, Revisited features ten pieces never previously republished outside Christopher Street,
as well as a new introduction keenly describing and evaluating a
historical moment that still informs and defines today’s
world-particularly its community of homosexuals, which, arguably, is
still recovering from the devastation of AIDS.
