Aidsafari

With searing honesty, tender prose and outrageous humour, Adam Levin takes us through the daily trials of living with Aids, travelling from promiscuity and dangerous denial, through the terrors of imminent mortality, to face the realities of his disease. But this book’s power lies not only in its value as a guide for coping with life-threatening illnesses, but in the rich quality of the narrative. Aidsafari – the frightening, internal journey that kept him on his sickbed for two years – ultimately reveals Levin’s raw honesty, indomitable passion and remarkable insights about love, lostness and life, and how rarely it fails to surprise us.
