Focusing on the personal narratives of Derek Jarman, Jamaica Kincaid, Eric Michaels, and Amy Hoffman, this work delves into the complex emotional landscape of AIDS-related grief. Sarah Brophy critiques the common perception of AIDS literature as primarily linked to gay men, broadening the discussion to include diverse experiences of mourning. Through memoirs and diaries, she explores how these texts serve as interventions in cultural memory, emphasizing unresolved grief's profound impact on personal testimony and its literary significance.
