A lovely copy of this collaborative work between Sontag and Howard Hodgkin. Sontag's text first appeared in The New Yorker in 1986, and was one of the first stories about the AIDS epidemic by a major writer. This edition was sold to exclusively benefit AIDS-related organizations in England and America.
