About The Book
David Wojnarowicz was an abused child, a teen runaway who barely finished highschool, but he emerged as one of the most important voices of his generation. He foundhis tribe in New Yorks East Village, a neighborhood noted in the 1970s and 80s fordrugs, blight, and a burgeoning art scene. His creativity spilled out in paintings,photographs, films, texts, installations, and in his life and its recountingcreating a sortof mythos around himself. His circle of East Village artists moved into the nationalspotlight just as the AIDS plague began its devastating advance, and as right-wingculture warriors reared their heads. As Wojnarowiczs reputation as an artist grew, sodid his reputation as an agitatorbecause he dealt so openly with his homosexuality,so angrily with his circumstances as a Person With AIDS, and so fiercely with his would-be censors. Fire in the Belly is the untold story of a polarizing figure at a pivotal moment in Americancultureand one of the most highly acclaimed biographies of the year
