Sean Strub, founder of groundbreaking POZ magazine, visits the Strand to chat about his candid new release Body Counts: A Memoir of Politics, Sex, AIDS, and Survival, which charts his journey from his beginnings in the world of politics, to his near-death experience as a man with AIDS in New York City during the disease’s rampant epidemic years.

Sean’s book recounts the radical activism he used to combat the discrimination and negativity he and so many other HIV-positive Americans experienced during the era, and features a cast of characters ranging from Tennessee Williams to Gore Vidal, from Bill Clinton to Yoko Ono.

Joining Sean for the evening will be Walter Armstrong, editor in chief of POZ magazine from 1998-2005. Walter is currently at work on an oral history of gay life in the East and West Villages from 1976-1996.
