As the very best fiction does, this novel showed me a world, and a time in history, I hadn't understood. For a Moment More is an act of generosity, as much as a tribute to lost friends. JOCK SERONG

It's 1993. Chris Roberts is thirty-three, HIV-positive for eight years and working at an Oxford Street hardware shop, while funerals, fear and failing health threaten to destroy him.

Then, on a balmy night in Darlinghurst, everything shifts.

At a dance party in Sydney's gay ghetto - midway through a performance of 'Something's Coming' by a life-sized Barbra Streisand puppet - Chris has an epiphany. Effective treatments will come. And if he wants to be around when the future arrives, he has to fight for his life.

Chris's daily routine becomes an act of resilience and resistance, fuelled by a refusal to disappear quietly. He stares down his past, makes peace where he can and dares to imagine a time beyond HIV/AIDS.

For a Moment More captures the sharp wit, humour and fierce tenderness of those times. It's a story about love, farewelling friends, defiance and joy. It is about laughing in the face of fear.
