Biographical / Historical

Biographical / Historical
John-Manuel Andriote writes in the preface to his book,
Victory Deferred
:
how AIDS changed gay life in America
, "I wrote Victory Deferred because, despite the abundance of books written about AIDS, no one until now has examined both the 'big picture' and its finer detail in considering the many ways AIDS affected the nation's hardest hit community, gay men." [1] To do this Andriote interviewed hundreds of persons involved in various aspects of the HIV/AIDS experience. The University of Chicago Press catalog for 1999 describes the book this way: "John-Manuel Andriote chronicles the impact of the disease from the coming-out revelry of the 1970s to the post-AIDS gay community of the 1990s, showing how it has changed both individual lives and national organizations." [2]
Andriote's 2017 book,
Stonewall Strong
is described as, ". . . a tour de force, interweaving John Manuel Andriote's personal journey with a trenchant analysis of societal transformation. He recounts the harrowing early days of recognizing the devastation of AIDS and his responses to becoming HIV-infected, while insightfully telling the parallel narrative of the evolution of the LGBTQ community, from pre-liberation to crisis management and beyond."
