To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life Guibert Herve
A novel that describes, with devastating, darkly comic clarity, its narrator's experience of being diagnosed with AIDS.First published by Gallimard in 1990, To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life describes, with devastating, darkly comic clarity, its narrator's experience of being diagnosed with AIDS. To the Friend became a bestseller, and Guibert a celebrity. Guibert chronicles three months in the penultimate year of the narrator's life as, in the wake of his friend Muzil's death, he goes from one quack doctor to another, describing the progression of the disease and recording the reactions of his many friends.The novel scandalized the French media, which quickly identified Muzil as Guibert's close friend Michel Foucault.
Guibert continued to document the daily experiences of his body in a series of novels and diaries, mostly published posthumously.
