The Waterfront Journals, Paperback / softback Book

The Waterfront Journals Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

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.
