"Published just before he died of AIDS, Wojnarowicz’s memoir is a classic of outlaw literature and political fury. Wojnarowicz — who was a great artist as well as writer — wheels through his wickedly difficult childhood, the deaths of friends and lovers, great sex writing, thoughts about art, screeds against the likes of Jesse Helms, all the while facing down his own imminent demise. It’s sad, funny, angry and transporting, a kaleidoscope on fire."

An extremely good book. It is rare that I find a book that I just can't put down, this book is one of those. It is a cross between steampunk, classic literature, and X-Men. This is the first book in a series there is also a prequel about Finley before the events of this book! If the rest of this series is a good as this one then I will devour the rest in no time.
