Larry Kramer Finishes His ‘National History of Homosexuality’

“In 1980, convinced that Ronald Reagan’s references to ‘the American people’ were not intended to include gay citizens like him, Larry Kramer began writing a book called The American People, envisioned as a national history of homosexuality.” He worked on it for 30 years, and Farrar, Straus and Giroux now plans to publish the book – which it is classifying as fiction – in 2012.
