Rather, this is a fraternal meditation on the question: 'Are we friends, my brother?' The story is uncertain, the characters are in flux, the voices are plural, the photographs are as troubled as the prose. This is not a memoir.\" \u003cbr\u003e Thus Scott Abbott introduces the reader to his exploration of the life of his brother John, a man who died of AIDS in 1991 at the age of forty. Writing about his brother, he finds he is writing about himself and about the warm-hearted, educated, and homophobic LDS family that forged the core of his identity. \u003cbr\u003e Images and quotations are interwoven with the reflections, as is a critical female voice that questions his assertions and ridicules his rhetoric. The book moves from the starkness of a morgue's autopsy through familial disintegration and adult defiance to a culminating fraternal conversation. This exquisitely written work will challenge notions of resolution and wholeness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Abbott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607815141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607815143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Scott Abbott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526273061119,"sku":"9781607815143","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a04b09dc-161e-4341-9df1-669a773ef138.jpg?v=1737555691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immortal-for-quite-some-time-scott-abbott-9781607815143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
