Rather, this is a fraternal meditation on the question: ‘Are we friends, my brother?’ The story is uncertain, the characters are in flux, the voices are plural, the photographs are as troubled as the prose. This is not a memoir.” \u003cbr\u003e      Thus Scott Abbott introduces the reader to his exploration of the life of his brother John, a man who died of AIDS in 1991 at the age of forty. Writing about his brother, he finds he is writing about himself and about the warm-hearted, educated, and homophobic LDS family that forged the core of his identity.\u003cbr\u003e      Images and quotations are interwoven with the reflections, as is a critical female voice that questions his assertions and ridicules his rhetoric. The book moves from the starkness of a morgue’s autopsy through familial disintegration and adult defiance to a culminating fraternal conversation. This exquisitely written work will challenge notions of resolution and wholeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the book manuscript prize in creative nonfiction in the Utah Arts Council’s Original Writing Competition. \u003cbr\u003e Winner of the 15 Bytes Book Award for Creative Nonfiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Utah Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018521592048,"sku":"9781607815143","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781607815143_p0.jpg?v=1763830717","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781607815143","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
