AIDS was, and sometime still is a deadly virus, but there are more and more cases today of men who can 'living positively', enjoying their life with a little more of precautions than before, precautions that probably it would be better to always take, but this is the life and you have to face it. In VGL Male Seeks Same, Ethan was a 40 something years old man who finally found the love of his life. It was everything perfect, above all since it was not a too much pink glasses perspective on the world: Ethan found his love on the net, like probably many men today, and Brian was not a prince charming, but more a best friend type, but nevertheless, the love and sex were great, and Ethan and Brian walked toward the sunset together and happily ever after... almost. Now months later, Ethan finds out he is HIV ... since he was almost celibate before, and truth be told, he met Brian online, and you all know what this means, the most obvious explanation is that Brian passed the virus to him. Was he aware of it? Or maybe Brian cheated on him and, worst than the cheating itself, he was not safe? We follow Ethan's difficult first days after the discovery, wondering what it was and what it will be; his working of mind is sincere and true, Ethan passes from being angry to scared to lonely. He has no family and so he searches for comfort and assurance on the net, the same place where probably he also 'found' the virus, but it's the only place where he can go, and for once, the net replies to his plea of support. And we follow Ethan deals also with Brian, the man to hate... at first Ethan is all for denial, denial that what happened to him was not his fault; Brian is the evil man, it's all his fault. But then Ethan realizes that Brian is someone like him, Ethan, someone that didn't gave the right importance to this plague of the XX century. Even if Brian is guilty this doesn't mean that Ethan is innocent, they both have their faults. This is a novella that is really true, sincere and open, without loosing the romance; it's a light in the blackness that falls down upon whom discovers to be ill, and it gives hope. It doesn't give an answer, and I like that, even in the end, it doesn't explain who is wrong and who is right, the important thing is to cope and move on, always thinking positive to live positive. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1602728682/?tag=elimyrevandra-20 inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

The sequel to Amber Allure's Best-Seller VGL Male Seeks Same...Poor Ethan Schwartz. He's just had the most shocking news a gay man can get-he's been diagnosed HIV positive. Up until today, he thought his life was on a perfect course. He had a job he loved and something else he thought he'd never have: Brian, a new man, one whom Ethan thought of as "the one." the one who would complete him, who would take his life from a lonely existence to a place filled with laughter, hot sex, and romance.But along with the fateful diagnosis comes another shock-who is this new love? Had Ethan ever really known Brian? and did Brian infect him? As Ethan says, his love history had been more of a haiku than an epic and Brian seems the likely culprit in his newfound diagnosis.The course of true love never runs smoothly, right? and for Ethan and Brian, their new love, once so bright and shining, now appears tinged with darkness and deceit. Can they face this hurdle together with honesty and forgiveness? Or will this revelation tear them apart?Ethan turns to creating a blog, Off to See the Wizard of Poz, to help him deal with his diagnosis and love troubles, and what he finds there just may be more hope and support in the world than he once believed. And one of his blog readers just might have the key to Ethan's happily ever after... Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
