Lädt ... First Comes Lovevon Marion Winik
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   FKarr | May 25, 2013 |  This is one of her earlier books, I think, a memoir that describes her marriage to a gay man - a figure skater, infected with AIDs, who ultimately dies of the disease. What kind of straight women would marry an openly gay man? It's certainly the question that drives you to read the book. But as Winik describes the love they shared, you actually "get it" - you can see why she did it. You follow this couple through heroin addiction and his declining health and eventual death. But it's a lovely book about the transcendence of love - and it makes you think a bit about the artificial "boxes" we create to put love relationships into neat, little buckets. Love can be a lot of things. This is a love story. And it made me want to read more of Winik's work. (  ) ilovebooksdlk | May 17, 2009 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
nbsp; A New York Times Notable Book of the Year nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;When Marion Winik fell in love with Tony Heubach during a wild Mardi Gras in New Orleans, her friends shook their heads.nbsp; For starters, she was straight and he was gay.nbsp; But Marion and Tony's impossible love turned out to be true enough to produce a marriage and two beautiful sons, true enough to weather drug addiction, sexual betrayal, and the AIDS that would kill Tony at the age of thirty-seven, twelve years after they met.nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;In a memoir heartbreaking and hilarious by turns, Marion Winik tells a story that is all more powerful for the way in which it defies easy judgments.nbsp; As it charts the trajectory of a marriage so impossible that it became inevitable, First Comes Love reminds us--poignantly indelibly--that every story is a special case.
