I have not chosen to be ill, I don't think, but in a curious way I have decided to spend my time wishing I lived some other place, had some other life. Always just slightly discontented, searching for safety, and remembering. And always to return to the quiet and familiarity of Charlotte; I have found comfort in her steadiness, her selective certainty. Choosing this queer life with her I have chosen, at least, not to be alone.
This elegiac novel, first published in 1991, tells the story of small-town friendship, longing, and the impact of AIDS on a young gay writer's now-fleeting artistic ambition. In prose that is both poetic and uncompromising, Huston's work brings a life from the margins to the forefront like no other novel from an era of overwhelming prejudice, fear, and powerful resilience.
A fascinating and touching study of an intimate, obsessive relationship. For all its subdued and sad elements, Remember Me is a thoroughly hopeful and compelling story about the mysteries and boundaries of friendship and love. -Dorothy Allison, Bastard Out of Carolina
Remember Me is part of the mosaic of literary responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, one worthy of a place of honor. -John McIntyre, Literary Hub
Bo Huston (1959 - 1993) was born in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. A three-time Lambda Literary Award nominee, he was the author of two novels and two short story collections. A columnist for the San Francisco Bay Times, he was involved in the initial formation of the LGBT literary conference Out/Write and participated in the first March on Washington, DC. Huston received his HIV diagnosis in 1988 and, in diminishing health, orchestrated his own exit on May 24th, 1993.
