Product Description

Product Description

In 1986 the controversial film-maker Derek Jarman discovered he was HIV positive, and decided to make a garden at his cottage on the bleak coast of Dungeness, where he also wrote these journals. Looking back over his childhood, his "coming out" in the 1960s and his cinema career, the book is at once a volume of autobiography, a lament for a lost generation and a celebration of homosexuality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sex, Film and Gardening: The Magic Combination, 1 Dec 2001
My favourite Jarman book; lyrical, poetic, but also subtly subversive and radical. Not as in your face as, say, At Your Own Risk, but in the delicately and beautifully crafted prose on everything from a Kent shingle garden to nights on Hampstead Heath, Saint Derek's passion shines through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daring and Provoking, 29 Sep 2000
When Derek Jarman died he left a wonderful legacy in these journals that he published. Modern Nature offers not only an insight in to the thinkings of this truly renaissance man (he was a successful film-maker, artist and theatre designer).It also offered a chance to explore some of the tribulations that he passed through as a gay man, who came to have AIDS.

This is wonderful testimony from a man that must not be forgotten.
