{"product_id":"eighty-sixed-contemporary-amer-fiction","title":"Eighty-Sixed (Contemporary Amer Fiction)","description":"“A black comedy about the AIDS crisis that is by turns raunchy, hilarious, and heartrending”—The Advocate\n\nThe national bestselling novel of a young gay man living in NYC at the height of the AIDS epidemic.\n\nAt times dark, at others funny, and as important today as when it was first published, Eighty-Sixed follows the live of B.J. Rosenthal as he searches for a boyfriend and tries to find meaning and purpose within a city suffering from the fear, loss, loneliness that accompanies the HIV\/AIDS crisis.\n\nOver only a few years, B.J.’s life changes shape dramatically, and he finds himself navigating the ever more frightening landscape of an epidemic-rattled 1980s NYC, where he’s as likely to go on a hook up with a new prospect as he is to attend a funeral for a friend. This must-read piece of classic LGBTQIA+ literature provides a crucial look at what it meant to be gay and seeing love, safety, and community in a rapidly shifting and increasingly dangerous world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0140112529\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0140112529.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Feinberg, David B.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
