Eighty-Sixed

**From Amazon.com:**

In 1980, B. J. Rosenthal's only mission is to find himself a boyfriend and avoid setbacks like bad haircuts, bad sex, and Jewish guilt. In post-AIDS 1986, B.J.'s world has changed dramatically -- his friends and lovers are getting sick, everyone is at risk, and B.J. is panicking. Parrying high-wire wit against unbearable human tragedy, Eighty-Sixed now stands as a testament to an era.

"Entertaining, harrowing, and powerfully unsensational." -- *Booklist*

"[Eighty-Sixed] stands out for its frankness, ferocious wit, and total lack of sentimentality or self pity." -- *Catherine Texier, The New York Times Book Review*
