Book Reviews of Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir
Book Review: A 20th Century Boswell
Summary: 5 Stars
Few accounts of real life situations ring completely true. There is often a sense of contrivance. Borrowed Time is a model of how such narrative should be written. Stunning (it stunned me) prose & a heart wrenching (but never gushing) memoir combine to produce a work of rare quality.
