HIV/AIDS in Sydney. Tales of Ordinary Folk.

Here I begin five brief stories of how HIV/AIDS affects people in Sydney, and how people relate to the disease. I do not relate them in typical journalistic style, but in narrative. They are human tales. I tell them as a human.

Though some names have been changed, all the stories are real. In most stories names are irrelevant anyway, I reckon. Like a face in a photo, they draw attention away from the context, the bigger issues. If anybody should read these stories, and enjoy the form they take, I would suggest the work of Uruguayan journalist, Eduardo Galeano, as an inspiring precedent for genre defying writing.



No face needed.
