Condition: Very Good Very slight soiling to edges, pages beginning to brown and slight dents on back cover, but spine unbroken and apparently unread. Plot / Content: "The Normal Heart is the explosive drama about our most terrifying and troubling medical crisis today: the AIDS epidemic. It tells the story of very private lives caught up in the heartredning ordeal of suffering and doom - an ordeal that was largely ignored for reasons of politics and majority morality. "Filled with power, anger and intelligence, Larry Kramer's riveting play dramatizes what actually happened from the time of the disease's discovery to the present and points a moral j'accuse in many directions. His passionate indictment of government, the media and the public for refusing to deal with a national plague is electrifying theater - a play that finally breaks through the conspiracy of silence with a shout of stunning impact." (from the cover) Background / Biography: Larry Kramer's Wikipedia entry Reviews: "The blood that's coursing through The Normal Heart is boiling hot. There can be little doubt that it is the most outspoken play around." Frank Rich, The New York Times "An extraordinary play! It is bracing and exciting to hear so much passion and intelligence. Kramer produces a cross fire of life-and-death energies that create a fierce and moving human drama." Jack Kroll, Newsweek "Tense and touching ... deeply affecting ... oddly, also very funny."

Quote from this book " I'm beginning to think that you and your straight world are our enemy. I am furious wit you, and with myself and with every goddamned doctor who ever told me I'm sick and interfered with my loving a man. I'm trying to understand why nobody wants to hear we're dying, why nobody wants to help, why my own brother doesn't want to help. Two million dollars - for a house! We can't even get twenty-nine cents from the city. You still think I'm sick, and I simply cannot allow that any longer. I will not speak to you again until you accept me as your equal. Your healthy equal. Your brother! " Act 1, Scene VI Secondhand booksellers |
