Download Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration AudioBook Free
The savage, beautiful, and remarkable memoirs of an extraordinary designer, activist, and iconoclast who lit up the brand new York art world in the late 20th century David Wojnarowicz's brief but eventful life had not been easy. From a suburban adolescence proclaimed by neglect, drugs, prostitution, and mistreatment to a squalid life on the avenues of New York City, to fame - and infamy - as an activist and controversial visual designer whose work was lambasted in the halls of Congress, all before his early on death from Products at age group 37, Wojnarowicz appeared to be at war with a homophobic "establishment" and the world itself. Yet what surfaced from the darkness was a extraordinary designer and individual - an irritated son of remarkable poetic sensibilities who was simply inordinately sympathetic to the people who, like him, resided and struggled outside society's restrictions. Close to the Cutlery is his searing yet strangely beautiful bill advised in a assortment of powerful essays. An writer whom reviewers have compared to Kerouac and Genet, David Wojnarowicz mesmerizes, horrifies, and delights in equivalent measure with his unabashed honesty. Simultaneously savage and funny, poignant and sexy, compassionate and unforgiving, his words and tales cut like cutlery, leaving indelible markings on all who pay attention to them.
