My Take
Sarah Schulman is the kind of writer I hold in high regard precisely because her work is unglamorous and essential. Novelist, playwright, screenwriter, activist, and AIDS historian, she has spent decades documenting a generation's memory that the mainstream was happy to forget. The Guggenheim Fellowship and Lambda Literary Award sit on her shelf, and an endowed chair at Northwestern lets her pass that rigor on. I trust writers who treat record-keeping as a moral act rather than a career move. Her bibliography feels less like entertainment and more like testimony, and that is exactly why I want to read her.
