Love Undetectable : Notes on Friendship, Sex, and Survival

By (author) Sullivan, Andrew

In the penultimate days of a "plague", Andrew Sullivan reflects on the meaning of the past 15 years. In a work that is personal and analytic, philosophical and spiritual, he asks the questions posed by the 20th-century plague called AIDS: about life after near-death, faith in the face of evil, the nature of normality, and the meaning of friendship.<p>Sullivan tells stories of those who survived and those who did not. He talks candidly about sex, promiscuity, and risk-taking. He delivers strong words to the religious establishment for its silence, and to the gay establishment for its denial. He dissects the psychoanalytic theory of homosexuality as a disorder and yet rejects the case for genetic determinism. The book's climax is an investigation into the meaning of friendship, in contrast to family love and romantic love. Drawing on literary and philosophical sources from Aristotle to Montaigne, from the Gospel of John to Emerson, Sullivan memorializes a dead friend and makes an argument for the superiority of friendship to every other form of human relationship.
