(A thoroughly engrossing collection of short stories, bril...)
A thoroughly engrossing collection of short stories, brilliantly interwoven into a dialog between a volunteer hospital visitor and an apparently friendless patient afflicted with AIDS. Reluctant at first, the patient opens up to his visitor and they begin telling each other their stories; witty, delightful, and sometimes violent and tragic. As the months pass we learn of the patient's life, and how he acquired the disease from which he is dying. The visitor also reveals his own past, and the two soon discover they are only different sides of the same coin. Or are they?
