Description During Books Angels in America (Angels in America #1-2)

In two full-length plays--Millennium Approaches and Perestroika--Kushner tells the story of a handful of people trying to make sense of the world. Prior is a man living with AIDS whose lover Louis has left him and become involved with Joe, an ex-Mormon and political conservative whose wife, Harper, is slowly having a nervous breakdown. These stories are contrasted with that of Roy Cohn (a fictional re-creation of the infamous American conservative ideologue who died of AIDS in 1986) and his attempts to remain in the closet while trying to find some sort of personal salvation in his beliefs.

Notice About Books Angels in America (Angels in America #1-2)

"This disease will be the end of many of us, but not nearly all, and the dead will be commemorated and will struggle on with the living, and we are not going away. We won't die secret deaths anymore. The world only spins forward. We will be citizens. The time has come." Angels in America is my favorite and absolutely the most beautiful play I have ever read for many, many reasons. First and foremost, it is a real look at a historical era and crisis so often erased in popular media. The

I begin this review with a quote: "Things fall apart / the center cannot hold." A colleague pointed out the resonances of Yeats' poem 'The Second Coming' in Kushner's 'Angels,' and I had to agree with his fantastic observation. This is a drama set in Reaganite America that images a world seemingly coming to an implosive and horrifying end. God has literally abandoned us (evidently, during the great San Francisco earthquake), and the national and historical crises alluded to--the onset of the

I've never seen this play performed in person, but reading it in print was still a powerful experience. The AIDS crisis of the 1980's hit when my parents were teenagers, so I don't really remember it, but I think Angels in America really captures it in a way that can be universal to anyone. It is hard in a world with such differing, polarized views on politics, religion, sexuality and gender, to create a story that can have something for everyone and address it all at once. Angels in America

And I bless you: More Life.Every time I try to put my feelings about this play into words, I fail to come up with anything remotely coherent. What an incredible play.

I absolutely love this play. It explores the beginning of the AIDS epidemic in the 80s, particularly its effect on the gay community. But you dont have to be a gay man with AIDS living in 1985 to relate to it. This play reaches out on a very basic human level. Its about dealing with loss, love, sickness, regret, hope, politics, betrayal, sex, religion, death, confusion, hateits about facing yourself and trying to deal with what you find there.Angels is hands down my favorite play. Its written in

Angels in America is seven hours long. You need to break the two parts up over the course of a weekend, probably. And it might be the first and it might be the only gay epic ever written. And this is why it's one of the most important books I've read. Luckily it's also one of the best.Its project is a tough one: look at the rise of AIDS in the culture of Reagan-era New York City as experienced by three men who identify as gay, one Mormon who's oriented sexually toward other men, and Roy Cohnwho

what AIDS shows us is the limits of tolerance, thats its not enough to be tolerated, because when the shit hits the fan you find out how much tolerance is worth. Nothing. And underneath all the tolerance is intense, passionate hatred.well that sure was. something
