DescriptionThe 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. Reviews‘This is a book with stories of youthful suffering. But it shows how the struggle for creativity and originality can contribute to healing.’ — The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG |
