Self-mourning in Paradise: Writing (about) AIDS through Death-bed Delirium 83
This article discusses the representation of AIDS in Guibert's posthumously published novel Le Paradis (Paradise) . The novel is situated in relation to Guibert's better known previous AIDS writings. The article proposes that Guibert's AIDS works fall in to three related categories: writings about other peoples' AIDS; autobiographical writings about AIDS, and, in the third, terminal stage in which Le Paradis fits, writing (about) AIDS. As such the article suggests that Le Paradis manages to reflect and communicate some of the trauma of living with AIDS by specifically trying not to write about it. The article raises issues related to constructions of sexualized and AIDS identities in fiction, and presents the novel as a form which represents a loss of self. The novel, it is argued, becomes a self-mourning for a healthy past which is memorialized in a fictional present, itself always-already haunted by the nostalgia for a lost future.
