This powerful collection gives voice to the people--those with HIV, as well as their caregivers--who battled at the front line of the epidemic. It is an intense celebration of life led at the precipice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe themes explored in \u003ci\u003eFrom a Burning House\u003c\/i\u003e are simple and universal: love, fear, friendship, loss. But these works possess a unique quality, as they describe a world that was on fire, a world where lives are quickened by the reality of AIDS. For the writers in the workshop, the creative process can be healing. For the reader, the result is profoundly moving; a tapestry of writings that is at once witty, wise, and a painfully vibrant connection to the way we live now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irene Borger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067153517X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780671535179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.64w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/06\/1996 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/29\/1996 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/1996 pg. 65","brand":"Irene Borger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153081970943,"sku":"9780671535179","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e0ffe3e-0d83-4a2e-b0ad-9fe6ae383c49.jpg?v=1770781160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-a-burning-house-irene-borger-9780671535179","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
