We must love one another or die : the life and legacies of Larry Kramer

Summary: "Twenty-three writers join together to explore the life and work of Larry Kramer, pioneer AIDS activist and acclaimed author of The Normal Heart and Faggots, in this original collection. A tribute to the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, producer, novelist, playwright, and co-founder of GMHC and founder of ACT-UP, this unique volume focuses on Kramer as activist, writer, and personality. An informed biography and a moving interview bookend essays that range from the political and historical to the personal and bittersweet. A controversial figure in the worlds of activism and letters, Kramer embodies the phrase, "the personal is political." This collection proves the impossibility of separating the activist from the writer and why perceptions of Kramer run from genius to provocateur."--Jacket.
