Hervé Guibert

Hervé Guibert was a French writer and photographer. A critic for Le Monde, he was the author of some thirty books, most notably To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life, which presents an intimate portrait of Michel Foucault, and played a significant role in changing public attitudes in France toward AIDS. His journals, The Mausoleum of Lovers, spanning the last fifteen years of his life, were published posthumously and published in an English translation in 2014 (Nightboat Books).
