America's lepers. Mothers. Fathers. Children. All number among those stigmatized, traumatized, ostracized and abandoned and made ashamed by this plague. In his mini-memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Lucious Conway invites readers into his world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped him-from his childhood of molestation in Southwest Detroit to his life as an actor and sex addict in new York, his failed marriage in Orlando. And, finally his return home to help care for his aging mother, sisters and grand nephews and nieces. With unerring honesty and lively wit, he describes his triumphs and his disappointments, both public and private, telling his full story as he has lived it - in his own words. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Stupid, Slow, Sexy, Suicide, Drinks Drugs & Lots of Sex (My AIDS Story) is the deeply personal reckoning of a man of soul and substance who has steadily exceeded expectations - and whose story inspires us to do the same.
