I disagree with comparing David & Mary Malloon, even if the conclusion was they weren’t anything alike. I also don’t like how ambiguous the ending was when it is very clear that David was not even remotely responsible.
However: this was well written and hard hitting.
My favorite section, p. 40:
It has been long advised
not to beat a dead horse.
Senator Jesse Helms
ignored the idiom.
Stated David and people like him
should be horsewhipped.
Said this long after
David was dead.

This is not the usual book I read, but after hearing about it on Pages Are Turning with Miles Montgomery I had to take a look. Written in poetry and proses, Steven Reigns, investigates and takes us on a journey into the life of Dr. David Acer, the dentist accused of spreading HIV/AIDS to 7 of his patients. Reigns paints a picture of David's life, his work, and what happened after his death. He also writes about the people who accused David for their HIV positive status, the most famous being Kimberly Bergalis.
This was a quick, yet beautiful read into the life and times of the early AIDS pandemic. A true masterpiece and a beautiful tribute to David.
