'Makkai has created a moving story about Chicago and Paris, the past and present, the young men lost to AIDS and the ones who survived. And just as her novel evokes art's power to commemorate the departed, The Great Believers is itself a poignant work of memoir' Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Sympathizer
'This expansive, huge-hearted novel conveys the scale of the trauma that was the early AIDS crisis, and conveys, too, the scale of the anger and love that rose up to meet it . . . I loved this book' Garth Greenwell author of What Belongs to You
