Journal of the Plague:: Living and working with AIDS

Paperback

An eloquent memoir by T. Namaya a poet, writer, a nurse and Vietnam era veteran who worked with AIDS patients at a Veterans hospital in NYC in the early ‘nineties. Though set in the first years of the epidemic, one reader has said, “This book will stand among the classic tales of illness and healing.”.
Namaya is unafraid to tell the truth, his candor and compassion shining through in writing that is
accessible, personal, and imbued with emotional veracity. For those of
us who are veterans of caring for people with HIV, AIDS and addiction,
“Journal of the Plague” is an apt reminder of the vicissitudes of that struggle. For those who never personally experienced this aspect of American healthcare, it is an eye-opening read of great depth and power. “—Keith Carlson, RN, BSN, nursekeith.com
