Description
Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration is an iconic work by the American activist and artist David Wojnarowicz. Published in 1991, this radical and raw autobiography explores his life in New York during the 70s and 80s, recounting his experience as a gay man in a world that marginalizes those who do not conform to established norms. Wojnarowicz offers a visceral testimony about the fight against homophobia, art as a means of resistance, and the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis, themes that run throughout his work. His reflections are a direct confrontation with the injustices and violence he faced, and a reminder of the need to continue fighting for the visibility and rights of LGBTQ+ people.
Close to the Knives is more than an autobiography; it is a furious manifesto against oppression. Through a lyrical and uncompromising style, David Wojnarowicz invites us to enter his mind and experience as a gay man, artist, and activist during a time marked by rejection, fear, and pain. This book is a song of resistance, a protest that combines the power of art with the urgency of survival. Wojnarowicz offers a unique and challenging perspective on politics, culture, and sexuality, making his work an essential testimony for those seeking to understand life on the margins.
