Description: "This novel recounts the battle of the first-person narrator not only with AIDS but also with the medical establishment on both sides of the Atlantic.".

"In this study, Ralph Sarkonak examines many aspects of Guibert's life and production: the connection between his books and his photography, his complex relationship with Roland Barthes and with his friend and mentor Michel Foucault.

Using close textual analysis, Sarkonak tracks the convolutions of Guibert's particular form of life-writing, in which fact and fiction are woven into a corpus that evolves from and revolves around his preoccupations, obsessions, and relationships, including his problematic relationship with his own body, both before and after his HIV-positive diagnosis."--BOOK JACKET.
