John Weir, author of The Irreversible Decline of Eddie Socket, a
defining novel of 1980s New York in its response to the global AIDS
crisis, has written a story collection that chronicles the long
aftermath of epidemic death, as recorded in the tragicomic voice of
a gay man who survived high school in the 1970s, the AIDS death of
his best friend in the 1990s, and his complicated relationship with
his mother, "a movie star without a movie to star in," whose life
is winding to a close in a retirement community where she lives
alone with her last dog.
