{"product_id":"loss-within-loss-edmund-white-9780299170745","title":"Loss within Loss: Artists in the Age of AIDS","description":"When an artist dies we face two great losses: the person and the work he did not live to do. \u003ci\u003eLoss within Loss\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving collaboration by some of America's most eloquent writers, who supply wry, raging, sorrowful, and buoyant accounts of artist friends and lovers struck down by AIDS. These essayists include Maya Angelou, Alan Gurganus, Brad Gooch, John Berendt, Craig Lucas, Robert Rosenblum, and eighteen others. Many of the subjects of the essays were already prominent--James Merrill, Paul Monette, David Wojnarowicz--but many others died young, before they were able to fulfil the promise of their lives and art. \u003ci\u003eLoss within Loss\u003c\/i\u003e spans all of the arts and includes portraits of choreographers, painters, poets, actors, playwrights, sculptors, editors, composers, and architects.\u003cp\u003eThis landmark book is published in association with the Estate Project for Artists with AIDS, a national organization that preserves art works created by artists living with HIV or lost to AIDS. \u003ci\u003eLoss within Loss\u003c\/i\u003e stands as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of the AIDS epidemic on the arts community and as the first real survey of that devastation. Though these accounts are often intensely sad, \u003ci\u003eLoss within Loss\u003c\/i\u003e is an invigorating, sometimes even exuberant, testimony to the sheer joy of being an artist . . . and being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmund White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299170748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299170745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Edmund White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988106674431,"sku":"9780299170745","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc74da6b-8663-4e7a-9b9a-9515dd2ee79c.jpg?v=1683292657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/loss-within-loss-edmund-white-9780299170745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
