It is 1994, and thirtysomething Gabe is convinced he's dying of AIDS even though his T-cell count is fine. From this somber place, Gabe examines his past and present to discover that his failures and hardships were learning experiences. Edwards-Stout's satiric wit belies a smoothly written, circumspect story. A Next Generation Indie Book Award Winner.
