From Library Journal
The author of To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life (LJ 7/91) confronts his own mortality with disturbing candor and biting humor in these journal entries. His friend Jules steals some valuable packets of DDI, an experimental AIDS drug, from a dead dancer, so that Guibert can begin the treatment before Dr. Chandi officially announces the "compassion protocol" (patients are usually given DDI only in the final stages of their illness, an approach doctors call "the compassion protocol"). "It's when I'm writing that I feel most alive," comments Guibert as he assiduously documents his trip to Casablanca; his flirtatious relationship with his young doctor, Claudette Dumoucel; visits to the masseur; the moments of happiness that punctuate his increasing exhaustion, weight loss, and the impression that his body, like that of his crippled Aunt Suzanne, is 95 years old. Ending on July 13, 1991 as he begins to shoot his first film, the book is powerfully augmented by the knowledge that Guibert died in December 1991 at age 36. For most collections.
