Product Description
Product Description
Derek Jarman is known as a painter, theatre designer and maker of films such as "Jubilee", "Caravaggio", "The Garden" and "Edward II". This book consists of a series of autobiographical fragments, interviews and newspapers extracts in which he celebrates homosexuality, articulating the pain, anxiety and rage which many homosexuals have felt under the physical, legal and cultural attacks of recent years. Jarman also wrote "Modern Nature".
From the Back Cover
Impassioned, witty and polemical, AT YOUR OWN RISK is Derek Jarman's defiant celebration of gay sexuality.
"If there is such a thing as the literary equivalent of an incendiary bomb, then this is it...His semtex-packed sentences are welcome thunderflashes of dissent in the grey drizzle of a dispirited political climate" New Statesman
"AT YOUR OWN RISK gives the reader access to something that is hard to articulate, the near asphyxiating pain, anxiety and rage which many gay people have felt living under the physical, legal and cultural attacks of the last few years" Observer
"For all his anger, Jarman never seems brutalised. He retains his humanity and his good humour. His is a wonderfully garrulous, mercurial, polymathic daemon" Literary Review
