Description

This is a sequel to Susan Sontag's book "Illness as Metaphor". She extends her original theories to argue that our metaphors for AIDS and its effects may be damaging: they suggest an apocalypse in personal and social terms that may be unhelpful for sufferers and inaccurate for society as a whole.
