Summary
Eighty-Sixed is a raw, irreverent, and deeply poignant novel by David B. Feinberg. Set against the backdrop of the 1980s AIDS crisis, this semi-autobiographical story follows the protagonist, B.J. Rosenthal, as he navigates life in New York City during a time when casual sex and carefree living are replaced by fear, illness, and loss. Feinberg brings a sharp wit and dark humor to the novel, portraying the heartbreaking and tragic impact of AIDS on the gay community, while never losing sight of the resilience, survival, and moments of joy that persist in the face of crisis. Feinberg's voice is honest and unflinching, making Eighty-Sixed a powerful cultural commentary on love, death, and the endurance of the human spirit.
