Last year I said I wouldn't torture myself by reading classic gay literature set in an around the aftermath of the AIDS crisis in the USA. And yet here I am again. It's quite interesting that the writing itself is mostly emotionless. and that's pretty much how I felt after finishing. Half the time I wanted to give Lark a big hug and the other half of the time I wanted to shake him and say “wake up to yourself”.
