American History Indeed

Schulman is right. This is American History. And since it's not in the textbooks, someone like Schulman has to put it out there in print.Schulman writes passionately about gay and lesbian issues. About the Lower East Side. About AIDS. Schulman cares about her world and it shows in her writing. I enjoy her novels but her essays are where she shines. She's an incredible essayist and an inspiration to me.Sarah - It's time for another edition of this book. As you wrote, this first book was Volume 1.
