Good account about husband who became gay and then died of AIDS. Kind of a wrenching story. ( ) "... a powerful statement from Will and Ariel Durant, historians who had studied the human condition all their lives. If a person is "unchecked by custom, morals or laws," they had written, "he may ruin his life before he … understands that sex is a river of fire that must be banked and cooled by a hundred restraints if it is not to consume in chaos both the individual and the group." as quoted in "Good-bye, I love You" by Carol Lynn Pearson p 146 THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH? "Oh Mario, it's so complicated," I said wearily, "What do I do?" "Just what you're doing. Love him. Protect yourself. Protect the children. Gerald is reaching for the light in his own way. One of the important things I've learned over these years is that everything that we call 'deviant behavior' is in some strange way a reaching for the light. Just love him." ibid p 164 geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Good-bye, I Love You is the true story of a wife, her homosexual husband, and a love that transcended tragedy when he came home to die.First released in hardcover in 1986, Good-bye, I Love You was the first widely acclaimed memoir of what was to become a continuing tragedy: death resulting from the AIDS virus. Since problems related to AIDS take an ever-increasing toll, the continuing popularity of Pearson's book is no surprise. It may be that no one has documented the heart-wrenching effects of homosexuality and the AIDS epidemic on the American family better than Ms. Pearson. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
