A review by jameseckman
Journals of the Plague Years by Norman Spinrad

4.0

This is about a super-AIDS epidemic originally written as a book outline in the 80s that could not be sold as a book, but the outline with minor changes was used in an anthology. A decade later they published it as a paperback. The story itself is well done, the characters start out a bit cliched, but they break out of their molds in wonderous ways.

Spinrad's agent told him it was the finest book outline he'd ever seen, budding authors may want to read it for comparison.
