Details: "Wojnarowicz is a spokesman for the unspeakable." --New York Magazine
David Wojnarowicz, one of the most provocative artists of his generation, explores memory, violence, and the erotism of public space--all under the specter of AIDS.
Here are David Wojnarowicz's most intimate stories and sketches, from the full spectrum of his life as an artist and AIDS activist. Four sections--"Into the Drift and Sway," "Doing Time in a Disposable Body," "Spiral," and "Memories that Smell like Gasoline"--are made of images and indictments of a precocious adolescence, and his later adventures in the streets of New York. Combining text and image, tenderness and rage, Wojnarowicz's Memories that Smell like Gasoline is a disavowal of the world that wanted him dead, and a radical insistence on life.
The new and revised edition features a foreword by Ocean Vuong and a note from the editor, Amy Scholder.
