Product Description

Product Description
First published in 1995, this award-winning novel is a bold, achingly honest novel set in the rat bohemia of New York City, whose huddled masses include gay men and lesbians abandoned by their families and forced to find new bonds. Navigating the currents are three friends: Rita, a rat exterminator; Killer, a plant-waterer; and David, an HIV+ writer; together, they seek new ways to be truthful and honest about their lives, as others around them avert their glances. This 2008 edition includes a new introduction by the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rat Bohemia, 11 Jul 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rat Bohemia (Paperback)

This book paints a vivid picture of a time and a place which is shockingly different to now and even more shockingly not long ago. Schulman conveys both poignantly and with great humour, the atmosphere surrounding a community plagued with AIDS and abandoned by the parental generation. Schulman's characters are not heroes, they are a group of people who have had to survive despite the lack of support network and instead, support each other - somehow. For those of us who are in same-sex relationships, it is impossible not to feel extremely indebted to the people of whom this book reminds us. It is vital that this kind of story be out there.
