Close to the Knives by David Wojnarowicz
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.David Wojnarowicz was a well-known New York City artist who worked as a painter, photographer, writer, filmmaker, performance artist, and AIDS campaigner. On September 14, 1954, he was born. On July 22, 1992, he died of AIDS.
