Burkett, Elinor THE GRAVEST SHOW ON EARTH: America in the Age of AIDS
Houghton Mifflin 1995 0395745373 / 9780395745373 First Edition Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Ex-library with mylar cover & usual lib markings; light soiling outer edge of pages, interior pages clean & tight. Last blank page in book has a piece torn from the corner. A nice, tight, clean copy, 399 pages.Writing that "AIDS is the most politically controversial epidemic in human history, " Burkett, a reporter for the Miami Herald from 1988 to 1992, delivers what might be considered a sequel to Randy Shilts's And the Band Played On as she continues the story into the mid-1990s. Viewing AIDS as less a disease than an industry, Burkett critiques the roles of scientists, physicians, politicians, gay activists, fundamentalists, pharmaceutical companies, and media figures as they jump on the AIDS bandwagon for personal and political advancement. Deftly capturing the characteristics of such players as Larry Kramer, Robert Gallo, Kimberly Bergalis, Pedro Zamora, ACT UP, and the Center for Disease Control and examining complex issues like the incidence of AIDS among African Americans, women, and the heterosexual population in general, Burkett rips through the rhetoric to the reality--political, scientific, and social--to offer an engaging analysis of AIDS in America. ; 000985; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
