Reading these journal entries by David Wojnarowicz almost felt too intimate. Reading his innermost thoughts and experiences felt like I was looking at something private. But, I understand he also really wanted to be published one day.
These journals show how his childhood influenced his thoughts on sex and intimacy, and how he changed as he moved through life. He speaks frankly on his feelings of depression and sadness. There are several quotes that I feel could have been taken from my brain.
David had a way with words. They have seeped into my mind and honestly, I wish selfishly he had written more that could be shared with a world. It’s horrific that an entire generation of people died who could have changed the world.
The ending of these journals is so abrupt too - just like David’s life. It really gave me pause, as it should.

Thought-provoking insight into the experiences that underlie his work. Quite lyrical but tempered with some v raw accounts of hustling & his childhood.
Particularly interesting account about his experience of solitude and loss of friendships during his final years whilst dealing with AIDS.
