I interviewed @IamABillings, the fabulous Davina on "Transparent," about her new memoir "This Time for Me." It's a great read! Oh, wait? Do I mean the memoir or our interview, you ask? BOTH! https://www.thebody.com/article/transgender-hiv-positive-transparent-star-alexandra-billings-discusses-memoir

I can’t tell you how this book tore me up. This is Holleran at 79, the closest to death’s door his fictional avatars have ever been. The isolation and aura of senescence and decline in this book is almost unbearable.

If you liked my novel #christodora, I think you will be very moved by #TheGreatBelievers by @rebeccamakkai, a tale of AIDS among a group of 1980s Chicago friends and their aftermath 30 years on. Last chapter had me weeping! Here is my review for @Newsday https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/books/rebecca-makkai-great-believers-review-1.19048348
