A visceral and carnivalesque mosaic of life at the fringesThe Waterfront Journals is a road trip through the sensuous, perilous landscape of alternative America - a series of fictional monologues that ventriloquise the real people Wojnarowicz met on his travels while he was sleeping rough.We meet these hustlers, runaways and dreamers in unassuming locations - in truck stops, bus stations and parks. Their stories are disturbing, often shocking; but they're told with an honesty and a hallucinatory intensity that simply demands to be heard.Published for the first time in the UK, this electrifying collection confirms that David Wojnarowicz was not only one of millennial America's most necessary and visionary artists, but also among its most humane and urgent literary chroniclers.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Close to the Knives, David Wojnarowicz gives us an important and timely document: a collection of creative essays -- a scathing, sexy, sublimely humorous and honest personal testimony to the "Fear of Diversity in America." From the author's violent childhood in suburbia to eventual homelessness on the streets and piers of New York City, to recognition as one of the most provocative artists of his generation -- Close to the Knives is his powerful and iconoclastic memoir. Street life, drugs, art and nature, family, AIDS, politics, friendship and acceptance: Wojnarowicz challenges us to examine our lives -- politically, socially, emotionally, and aesthetically. 'Everyone should read Close To The Knives to understand the overall political agenda behind suffering, whether that suffering occurs because of a dysfunctional family, religion, or government. Wojnarowicz explores all of his painful life experiences as a plea for all of us to become more compassionate and caring human beings. This isn't just David's story, it's our story, our nation's story.' Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Main - Canons edition. I am glad I am alive to witness these things; giving words to this life of sensations is a relief. Smell the flowers while you can.Close to the Knives is the artist, writer and activist David Wojnarowicz's extraordinary memoir. Filthy, beautiful, and sharp to the point of piercing, it is both an exploration of the world seen through the eyes of an artist, and a moving portrait of a generation living, grieving, and dying through the AIDS crisis. It is a triumphant hymn of resistance, and a dizzying celebration of the joys of seeing and living in the world.
