Background
Kramer, Larry was born on June 25, 1935 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States. Son of George L. and Rea (Wishengrad) Kramer.
( Larry Kramer has been described by Susan Sontag as "one...)
Larry Kramer has been described by Susan Sontag as "one of America's most valuable troublemakers." As Frank Rich writes in his Foreword to this new collection of writings for the screen and stage, "his plays are almost journalistic in their observation of the fine-grained documentary details of life ... that may well prove timeless." The title work, the Oscar-nominated screenplay for Women in Love, is a movie "as sensuous as anything you've probably ever seen on film" (The New York Times). The screenplay is accompanied by Kramer's reflections on the history of the production, sure to be of interest to any student of film. This volume also includes several early plays, Sissies' Scrapbook, A Minor Dark Age, and the political farce Just Say No, illuminating the development of one of our most important literary figures. "Since his screenplay for Women in Love, Kramer has been a prophet of psychic health and catastrophe among us." -- from The American Academy of Arts and Letters citation

A collection of most of Kramer's political writings since the beginning of the epidemic. The author has integrated these essays with new material setting the context and situation in which they were written and describing the reactions and results they obtained --making the book into a rounded political and personal autobiography with an intense impact. As timeless as an Old Testament prophet. Kramer's writings, collected here in this book for the first time, warn of catastrophe threatening Americas, and constitute a powerful call to action that will reverberate through the nation for years to come.

The Normal Heart, set during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, is the impassioned indictment of a society that allowed the plague to happen, a moving denunciation of the ignorance and fear that helped kill an entire generation. It has been produced and taught all over the world. Its companion play, The Destiny of Me, is the stirring story of an AIDS activist forced to put his life in the hands of the very doctor he has been denouncing.
