David Wojnarowicz, The Waterfront Journals. Edited by Amy Scholder. New York: Grove Press, 1996.
The Waterfront Journals is a series of mind-bending fictionalized monologues David Wojnarowicz collected from marginalized people who crossed his path—fulfilling his legacy as ‘spokesman for the unspeakable.” Editor Amy Scholder’s collection offers a window into the lives of dozens of intimate strangers David met on his travels in the 1970s and ’80s—from a San Francisco coffee shop to the Ramble in Central Park.
It includes an introduction by Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winning American author, playwright, and screenwriter Tony Kushner.
Open Road Media re-released The Waterfront Journals in 2014 as part of a series of republished Kindle editions of Close to the Knives, Memories That Smell Like Gasoline, and In the Shadow of the American Dream.
