From Publishers Weekly:
In his strong title piece, "Report from the Holocaust," novelist/playwright Kramer ( The Normal Heart , Faggots ) tells what it's like to be a gay male during the AIDS epidemic, watching one friend die after another. That sense of dire urgency informs the outspoken, at times controversial articles, essays, open letters and speeches in this compendium. Kramer is sharply critical of the Reagan administration, the National Institutes of Health and the FDA, all of which he accuses of bureaucratic inertia in coping with the AIDS crisis. He also lambasts New York mayor Ed Koch, whom he charges with ignoring the pandemic. In other pieces he wages a running battle with the Gay Men's Health Crisis, which he co-founded but from which he was "brutally exiled." The selections date from 1978 to the present; all are topical and timely, though the pieces written in self-defense, reflecting infighting in the gay community, grow tiresome. Author tour.

From Library Journal:
Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
The controversial author of the novel Faggots and the play The Normal Heart has collected his letters, speeches, and essays chronicling his frustrations as cofounder of the Gay Men's Health Crisis and AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP). Arranged in chronological order from 1978 to the present, they are a call to the gay community to mobilize against the inept bureaucrats who let "an epidemic that could have been contained" go unfettered. The pieces are passionately angry and, because his warnings have gone largely unheeded, use increasingly scathing language. The long essay "Report from the Holocaust" seems less vitriolic but no less powerful than the shorter selections, some of which are undated, a flaw in this important historical document.
