review 1: HOLY COW! Garcia is one bold and intelligent man. You might read reviews telling you that the story drags on and the plot never seems to become clear but I took a very deep message out of this novel. This book was translated from the French and like most French writers, Garcia adds his philosophical and political views through the four characters. I wouldn't categorize it as a "gay" novel even though it focuses on it a lot; it goes deeper into the subject and looks at the political and personal implications that AIDS/HIV causes. It's an emotional book and KEEP READING, if you're into a think-hard kind of book you'll love it.
review 2: Torchon misérabiliste aux allures d'étude sociale, ce bouquin se veut une peinture au vitriol des années sida au travers de q... moreuatre personnages pseudo-fictifs mais encore faudrait-il pour cela avoir un minimum de talent dans l'écriture, ce qui n'est clairement pas le cas de Tristan Garcia. Entre provoc' et caricature, le prof de philo essaye de balancer deux, trois pensées profondes mais brasse du vent nauséeux la plupart du temps. less
