One summer night at a house party, Fred met Cati. Though they barely spoke, he vividly remembered her gracefulness and abandon. They meet again years later, and this time their connection is instantaneous. But when things become serious, a nervous Cati tells him that she and her three-year-old son are both HIV positive. With great beauty and economy, Peeters traces the development of their intimacy and their revelatory relationship with a doctor whose affection and frankness allow them to fully realize their passionate connection. Then Cati’s son gets sick, bringing Fred face to face with death. It forces him to question the meaning of life, illness, and love -- until a Socratic dialogue with a mammoth helps him recognize that living with illness is also a gift; it has freed him to savor his life with Cati. As in the best graphic memoirs, Blue Pills puts into art and human terms a daunting subject in a way that is refreshingly honest and profoundly accessible. A brave and unsentimental romance, Blue Pills will resonate with anyone whose love has faced great obstacles and triumphed. 2377505 2001 Blue Pills: A Positive Love Story total:292|5:80|4:118|3:81|2:12|1:1| 292 1140 407 69 4 1 false false Tue Jun 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 07:27:39 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 08:27:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Jan 29 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 13:19:11 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 13:28:50 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 07:44:29 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 07:48:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 07:48:08 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 08:01:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jun 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 21:33:44 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 07:31:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false true Sat Jul 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 17:12:47 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 17:43:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 26 13:56:46 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 13:43:44 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Apr 23 10:44:30 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 10:50:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 19:54:56 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 07 07:45:21 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 04:24:54 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 10:59:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jan 14 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 22:06:54 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 22:11:11 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 11:31:19 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 11:37:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 26 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 11:18:46 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 11:24:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jun 17 21:33:24 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 21:49:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Apr 07 15:51:06 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 15:58:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 22:20:04 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 22:30:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Mar 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 15:33:52 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 09:18:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Feb 08 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 08:07:36 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 12:41:15 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Aug 23 14:24:07 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 14:24:30 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 14:03:53 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 14:05:38 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1390442
