LIVE from NYPL: Bill Goldstein, Garth Greenwell, Robert Jones Jr., Torrey Peters, and Pamela Sneed: Writing and Living through AIDS

NBC book critic Bill Goldstein and a multi-generational panel of writers reflect on the social and literary legacy of AIDS.

  • Garth Greenwell, author of Cleanness
  • Robert Jones Jr., author of The Prophets
  • Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby

America’s oldest AIDS organization, Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), was founded In 1982 in response to government inaction against a disease that was ravaging the gay and bisexual communities at the time. The New York Public Library holds the records of GMHC. To mark the organization’s 40th anniversary Bill Goldstein moderates a cross-generation panel of writers—some who grew up during the crisis, others who have never known a world without AIDS—to reflect on its ongoing legacy in their lives and work.
