BODY HATE is an important book. It deserves to be read by all gay and lesbian people... -- Dr. William Russo, Curry College
Product Description
BODY HATE: A GAY MAN'S STRUGGLE WITH MS is a rarity: an inside look at a gay man's experience with the disease. Though other books details the effects and pain of learning about this incurable and debilitating disease, this work will always have the special ground-breaking position of being "First." No other work delineates the world of a young gay musician who suffers torments he never anticipated and could not prepare to feel. This is the story of Bill Cate who was a punk rocker from Boston, on the verge of hitting the Big Time, when he was felled by the mysterious and ever-lurking disease which strikes with devastating effects. It also tells the story of Bill's gay lifestyle: a world of dance, music, and nightlife in Boston's clubs, which comes to an abrupt end with the onset of the disease.
The work is specially printed in bold and double-spaced to make it more easily readable to those who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, and the often experienced optic neuritis.
