What I Did Wrong Paperback - 2007

When John Weir's debut novel, The Irreversible Decline of Eddie Socket, was published in the late 1980s, it was immediately recognized by critics across the country as one of the most perceptive, unsentimental, and beautifully written accounts of the political and emotional consequences of AIDS on both individuals and a community. In What I Did Wrong, his long-awaited second novel, Weir has written another powerfully moving and often disarmingly funny book about loss, character, and sexuality in the post-AIDS era, a survivor's tale in an age when all the certainties have lost their logic and focus.

Media reviews

Here's something John Weir did very right, indeedfunny, erudite novel, heavy with history and loss and beauty. He is a poet. (David Rakoff, author of Don't Get Too Comfortable)What I Did Wrong is done so right, so well. . . . How could you possibly not fall for this book? (Antonya Nelson, author of Female Trouble and Living to Tell)A wry memoir of the AIDS era that is not so much elegy as ode to a hopeful and even lyric future. (The Baltimore Sun)
