Living and Loving in the Age of AIDS

A compelling, heart-rending and uplifting memoir about one couple‘s love story through the AIDS epidemic. A timely chronicle of survival and transformation. In the upheaval and wake of the coronavirus pandemic, tales from a similarly devastating epidemic will have a resonance with many people. The author will commit 100% of his royalties to AIDS-related charities, including Aids Ark. Coverage expected in leading LGBT+ publications and author features in The Guardian, Observer and Sunday Times. The success of publishing around the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riot in 2019 showed there is a keen appetite for books that speak to young queer people, both in the UK and the US. There is a desperate need for AIDS narratives that end in life not death. This memoir aims to speak in this positive way about what the previous generation lived through. Derek Frost is a highly respected and successful er with many high-profile connections within the London art scene. The book will be sold at ‘pop-up‘ exhibitions and at his own events.
