Description: "Cytomegalovirus" presents Guibert's observations during three weeks in hospital, where he confronts his fears about AIDS and the cytomegalovirus which threatens him with blindness. Throughout the ordeal, he clings to his human dignity, refusing to be treated as an object of study or of compassion.
Synopsis: Cytomegalovirus presents Guibert's intimate observations during a three-week stay in the hospital. In this work, he confronts his fear about AIDS and the cytomegalovirus that is threatening him with blindness. Throughout the ordeal, he defiantly clings to his human dignity, refusing to be treated as an object of study or of compassion. The central importance of writing as a way of recording his experience, and therefore of preserving his humanity, remains a key to understanding this work. Of interest to students, scholars, and general readers of French literature, gay studies, and literature and medicine.
