‘The Way We Live Now’ was first published as a short story written by Susan Sontag in the New Yorker in 1986.
It concerns the responses – doubting, possessive, comic – of a group of New Yorkers when they discover a close friend has Aids. Now Howard Hodgkin has created a series of hand-coloured engravings to go alongside the book. Also published in an unsigned edition of 200.
