Chronicle of a Plague, Revisited
AIDS and Its Aftermath
Da Capo Press · Print & ebook · May 13, 2008
Andrew Holleran'sGround Zero, first published in 1988 and consisting of 23Christopher Street essays from the earliest years of the AIDS crisis, was hailed by theWashington 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 outsideChristopher 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.
