I’m struggling with this review, so I figure I’d better make it clear up front that this is a wonderful book. It also is a stand-alone story, even though knowing Henry Rios’s full history from the other books will make the experience even richer. It’s a political thriller mixed with a series of tragic love stories, not all of which have completed their trajectory by the explosive finale.“Lies with Man,” takes us back to the beginning of Michael Nava’s chronological starting point, the mid-1980s, when AIDS had become a scourge in what was then quaintly called the Lesbian and Gay Community; and had also emerged as a powerful tool of the Right to use against us. Henry is living in the sprawling house in the Hollywood Hills, left to him by his friend and AA mentor. He has just met Josh Mandel at a community meeting regarding a ballot proposition calling for the quarantine of any HIV-positive person for the protection of the general public (i.e. “innocent people”). (The proposition itself is fictitious, but relates to an actual proposition on the ballot in California in 1986.) Henry Rios is a player in this drama, acting as the lawyer for a rowdy crew of disorganized gay and lesbian protesters, of which Josh Mandel is a member. Henry’s counterpoint, tracked in a parallel story line, is a middle-aged evangelical pastor for a powerful fundamentalist congregation in Los Angeles. Both men have complicated backstories, which the author uses brilliantly to add richness and emotional texture to what evolves into a particularly ugly tale of murder and corruption.How you read one of Michael Nava’s Henry Rios novels varies, I think, with your age. For a younger reader today, I guess these books offer a sharply-drawn, fascinating, disturbing insight into our history (what “our” means depending on how you identify yourself). For those of us in Nava’s generation, these books cut a little closer to the bone, dredging up memories of a time many of us have allowed to slip into the fog of the past. I have to note that there is an eerie echo of the politics of the last few years in “Lies with Man” that the author surely intends us to recognize. The political viciousness that emerged in the Reagan years has not, sadly, become of a thing of the past.There is a chronological arc for the first seven of the Henry Rios books, which seems to come to some sort of emotional completion for their central character (at least as I interpreted it). History as Henry experiences it is messy and dark and offers no guarantees. Henry Rios is a man of deep compassion and surprising generosity of spirit. He is a consistent model of the damaged-but-good man, in chilling contrast to other men in the books who see themselves as good while in fact embodying the most profound sort of hypocritical evil. This most recent book breaks the chronological arc, doing what is called “retroactive continuity” in the world of television—filling in pieces of past history that we didn’t get in the earlier books.I am intrigued by what Nava will mine from Henry’s past in future books. Personally, I want Henry to find happiness and peace. Somehow, I don’t think Michael Nava cares what I want, so I’ll settle for what he gives me.
