King. \nThe sum of these chronicles is a manifesto of survival. But they also are a portrait of a man giggling through a graveyard. There is a sense of joyful gratitude that permeates even the darkest chapters\, a throughline of cheeky optimism that makes the tragedy bearable and the humor uproarious. \nMy Fabulous Disease divulges King’s intimate triumphs and misfires along with glimpses of his Southern family coming to terms with a gay son\, his harrowing drug addiction and eventual recovery\, and a lifetime spent skating on the cracked ice of HIV. \n  \nABOUT MARK S. KING \nMARK S. KING is an award-winning blogger\, author\, speaker\, and HIV/AIDS activist who has been involved in HIV causes since testing positive in 1985. King was named the 2020 LGBTQ Journalist of the Year by the National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association (NLGJA)\, which also awarded King their “Excellence in Blogging” honor in 2014\, 2016 and 2020. My Fabulous Disease won the 2020 GLAAD Award for Outstanding Blog after five consecutive nominations\, and was named one of 2020’s “OUT100” by OUT Magazine. King’s new collection of essays\, My Fabulous Disease: Chronicles of a Gay Survivor is available now to pre-order from online sites or your favorite bookstore.
