Third Printing / 1985.  First published as a trade paperback exclusive. 

First edition trade paperback in very good condition. 

Extremely faint water stain to rear cover along spine and a small spot of purple ink to lower text block that does not affect pages.  

Otherwise book appears mint and seemingly unread.

It follows the efforts of one man, while his friends are dying around him, to break through a conspiracy of silence, indifference and hostility from public officials and the gay community, and gain recognition for a disease that threatens to change everything.

The play’s 2011 Broadway revival opened to an ecstatic critical reception, and won the Tony Award for Best Revival. It was adapted for television by HBO in 2014, with a cast includng Mark Ruffalo and Julia Roberts, and went on to win numerous awards, including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie.
