A straight woman falling in love with a gay man has become a punchline of sorts in contemporary pop culture, but this was real life for Marion Winik. In her 1996 memoir First Comes Love, the former Chronicle columnist shares the unconventional, beautiful, heartwarming, and heartbreaking story of how she met, married, and raised a family with her first husband Tony, who died from AIDS-related complications in 1994. Now settled in Baltimore, Winik returns to Austin with a 30th anniversary reissue of the book – and the kind of insight on its inciting romance that only comes with time. – Carys Anderson
