Synopsis

Kenneth Sean Campbell draws on his own life and experiences for his groundbreaking fictional memoir about life as a gay man in the 1980s. In That’s What Friends Are For, Campbell tells the tale of four friends united in their fight against both alcoholism and the mysterious advent of the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco.

The friends—Rush, Jordan, Hugo, and Bliss—are all struggling to cope with the relentless onslaught of the deadly disease. Meeting in Alcoholics Anonymous, they learn to live sober during one of the darkest decades in gay history, and in so doing, forge unbreakable bonds of friendship.

These friends must face a world they were never prepared for, finding strength to fight back in constructive anger, determined to fill their lives with love, laughter, and joy even in the face of tragedy and death.
