Michael Cunningham
Horrifyingly funny, profoundly human, and truthful to the point of murder. It's not just a good book, it's an important book. I believe it will endure.
Michael Nava
A shocking and bitter book about AIDS and for that reason an essential counterweight to the sentimental bilge that characterizes so much AIDS writing. AIDS has been pretty well domesticated, safe enough for Hollywood and with its own line of Hallmark cards undoubtedly in the offing. Queer and Loathing takes all that back. There's something in it to offend just about everyone. That's its triumph.
Paul Rudnick
Fabulous and terrifying. It is required reading for President Clinton and everyone else. David B. Feinberg is an extraordinary writer; he is fearlessly truthful and heartbreaking, and he manages to be delectably funny while wrangling with activism, catheters, and rage. There is no one remotely like him; he is Lucy of Arc.
