My Government Means to Kill Me by Rasheed Newson

5.0

My favorite book this year. I was a bit reluctant to read it. Gay man in the 80’s book thought it might be too depressing. It is written as if it was a memoir and includes copious cultural footnotes. Which taught me things like AIDS was in this country by the late 60’s. It included the main character Trey getting involved in Act-Up and talked about that group starting up.my only criticism is I wanted more. I hope there is a sequel. Highly recommend.
