The issues he has addressed are important ones: his emphasis on the position of women in French AIDS literature is valuable; his psychoanalytic characterizations - particularly of Simonin and Dreuilhe - underscore a dimension of the experience of AIDS people that has rarely been acknowledged or explored.

HIV Stories casts a strong light, from an unexpected angle, on what made those years, for many people, such a disastrous time. - Professor Ross Chambers, Marvin Felheim, distinguished University Professor of French and Comparative Literature, University of Michigan Author InformationJean Pierre Boule is Professor of Contemporary French Studies at Nottingham Trent University.
