Description

The author offers an account of her growing awareness of the similarities between her novel "People in Trouble" and the smash Broadway hit "Rent". Giving her view on the behind-the-scenes New York theatre culture, she also describes how mainstream artists co-opt with the work of "marginal" artists to give an air of diversity to their own work. She uses these suspicions of copyright infringement as an opportunity to initiate a larger conversation on how AIDS and gay experience are represented in art and commerce.
