nytimes.com - The playwright, novelist and gay activist Larry Kramer’s new novel, “The American People, Volume 1: Search for My Heart,” is a bit like Mr. Kramer himself: blustery, sentimental, embittered and unlikely to take no for an answer. At 775 pages, it’s a grand diva of a book, a wheezing jukebox of filthy jokes, political hit jobs, killing gossip, love songs and fluky mutterings.
Mr. Kramer is, of course, best known as the author of “The Normal Heart” (1985), a semi-autobiographical play about the dawn of the AIDS crisis in New York City.
