{"product_id":"borrowed-time","title":"Borrowed Time","description":"The first personal documentary about AIDS to be published, \"Borrowed Time\" remains as vividly detailed as the best novel and as lucidly observed as the fiercest journalism. It is a cry from the heart against AIDS as it was in the early stages of the plague and against the intolerance that surrounded it. In equal parts, it is a supremely moving love story and a chronicle of the deep commitment and devotion that Paul Monette felt for Roger Horwitz from the night of their first meeting in Boston in the mid-1970s to Roger's diagnosis a decade later and through the last two years of his life, when fighting the disease together became a full-time occupation. This is not a book about death but a book about living while dying and the full range of emotions provoked by that transition -- sorrow, fear, anger, among them. It is a document essential to the history of the gay community; vital for anyone reading about AIDS; and one of the most powerful demonstrations of love and partnership to be found in print.","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50010274988282,"sku":"9780156005814","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_971cf58c-c1a6-441f-ab48-e049a2d9352e.jpg?v=1786130938","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/borrowed-time","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
