I saw him do that on a TV show years ago and wept buckets. I must look out for it. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/my-favourite-piece-on-hiv#post-38099 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 13:36:10 +0000 mhacker 38099@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ After seeing the trailer for the new BBC show I wanted to share some information on what for me is one of the best pieces of writing on HIV. <br /> <br /> It makes me laugh and cry every timer I hear it. It's a piece performed by Harvey Fierstein, of Torch Song Trilogy fame, and is available on CD. It's part of a live show he did called 'This is not going to be pretty' and the track is called Pouf Positive'. The piece take the form of a telephone dialogue between a man dying of HIV and his ex lover. It's about 14 minutes long and is very touching. His 7 gay stages of grief are not to be missed.<br /> <br /> I would love to hear from anyone else who knows of a book, film play etc that they think is worth a look.
