PM (hel) L: Losing a Loved One to HIV
Alec's Journey
by
Lylo de Lange
Contents
This remarkable book is the factual, detailed blog record of a young and carefree love that suddenly turned to tragedy. It shares in concrete detail all the tenderness, despair, agony and tantalising flashes of hope that he, his family and supportive friends experienced as his beloved Alec was taken further and further into the realms of PML, and then to death.
PML is a virtually unknown debilitating disease that sometimes ('opportunistically') accompanies HIV. During this time of suffering, the author also lost his father, and then Heidi, one of his most dependable friends, who had relocated to Stilfontein to help. The entire agony unfolds in this mining town with its local medical facilities.
A5, 360 pp, R210-00 (plus R25-00 postage in South Africa)
Author
Lylo de Lange is a pseudonym, in fact an abbreviation of the urgent message the author wants everyone to receive: 'Love your loved ones!'. This majestic history of humanity stretched to its utmost limits is a major narrative achievement.
