Ranging from the brothels of 1950s Washington, D.C., to the activism of the 1980s and beyond, Kramer offers an elaborate phantasmagoria of bigoted conspiracists in the halls of power and ordinary individuals suffering their consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith wit and bite, Kramer explores (among other things) the sex lives of every recent president; the complicated behaviour of America's two greatest spies, J. Edgar Hoover and James Jesus Angleton; the rise of Sexopolis, the country's favourite magazine; and the genocidal activities of every branch of our health-care and drug-delivery systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe American People: Volume 2\u003c\/em\u003e is narrated by (among others) the writer Fred Lemish and his two friends—Dr. Daniel Jerusalem, who works for America's preeminent health-care institution, and his twin brother, David Jerusalem, a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp who was abused by many powerful men. Together they track a terrible plague that intensifies as the government ignores it and depict the bold and imaginative activists who set out to shock the nation's conscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Kramer's telling, the United States is dedicated to the proposition that very few men are created equal, and those who love other men may be destined for death. Here is a historical novel like no other—satiric and impassioned and driven by an uncompromising moral and literary vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244467695852,"sku":"9781250785688","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250785688-the-american-people-volume-2-1.jpg?v=1787997574"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/larry-kramer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
