Pink Book, The
Author(s): Henry Von Doussa
The Pink Book is a memoir about sexuality, gender, and grief and loss through the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and about the influence of life’s juxtaposing forces: beauty and suffering, freedom and constraint.
The Pink Book contains Henry von Doussa’s art, writing, and precious objects (including old family letters and photographs) to tell a story of growing up through the 80s and 90s, asking: What gives a family lift? What drags a family down? The Pink Book explores the power of creativity to understand and ease the mental ill-health that hangs as an ever-present spectre over multiple generations of an Australian family.
The Pink Book is an exceptionally crafted, beautifully presented publication designed by award-winning book designer Sean Hogan.
