Beschreibung:
""Hospital Time" is a brilliantly crafted memoir about the writer's struggle to bear witness to the death of a friend. Hoffman's story, written in short, breathtakingly compressed chapters, chronicles life at the center of the AIDS epidemic: intense, terrifying, simultaneously suffused with meaning and empty. Hoffman avoids any cliche of the noble death, instead offering us a relentless view of her own excruciating moral struggles in the face of her disintegrating family. "Hospital Time" moves, not in a straight line, but like life does"--"like AIDS does--unpredictably, unforgivingly: as a series of overlapping losses, each more devastating than the last."--Stephanie Grant, author of "The Passion of Alice"
A memoir about friendship, family, and care giving in the age of AIDS. It chronicles the author's experience serving as primary caretaker for her friend and colleague, Mike Riegle, who died from AIDS-related complications in 1992.
