SUMMARY:A SONG FOR OLAF: A MEMOIR OF SIBLING LOVE AT THE DAWN OF THE HIV-AIDS PANDEMIC
DESCRIPTION:Join Jennifer Boulanger\, in conversation with Elisabeth Nonas\, for a book-talk that highlights the historical and cultural touchstones that weave through this personal narrative. \nAbout the Book: It’s the summer of 1969.
