The Cruel Genius of Robert Plunket's Gay Satires
Briefly

The coming plague of AIDS acts as a foreboding element throughout Love Junkie, adding tension to the storyline. Mimi, a character dense with unknowing, navigates a world on the brink of tragedy with irony.
Mimi Smithers, a housewife in the early 1980s, remains oblivious to the looming AIDS epidemic, creating a stark contrast between the reader's knowledge and the character's naiveté.
