After Francesco is a novel by a Minnesota author named Brian Malloy. I actually got an autographed copy. The story is about a gay man, Kevin, who moves to Minneapolis in 1988 after loosing his significant other to AIDS. He comes to Minneapolis to live with his aunt Nora who allows him in her house if he stays sober and goes to a support group. Kevin grew up in Minneapolis and he still has friends there. This historical fiction story is about the AIDS epidemic and is told with humor and grief. I am again reminded why I did not like Ronald Reagan.
