frasersimons 's review for:
The Great Believers
by Rebecca Makkai
Fantastic characterizations of the characters and the structure that jumps forward and backward in time ultimately struggle against the premise, which has basically become the quintessential gay story. There are so many queer stories that do not focus on the AIDS crisis and do not play on this need to humanize people you should not have to struggle to have empathy for, that this feels out of time and place, despite its strengths.
