"Camp Comforts" investigates the wide-ranging impact of camp on
AIDS literature and places this impact within two different
traditions of camp analysis: a politically subversive one that aims
at social change and an aesthetically uplifting one that aims at
personal healing. Christian Lassen argues that camp may in fact
serve both ends, social change and personal healing, and goes on to
explore reparative reading practices in order to rehabilitate
alleviation and relief as vital objectives in literary
representations of gay grief. In this way, "Camp Comforts" reveals
the workings that make camp so crucial a strategy for survival in
times of AIDS.
