there were moments that were so incredibly profound and then there were many many long dream sequences that didn’t do as much for me. the first few recordings about bill and then the last few where he’s driving around the southwest are really really lovely, i think i will revisit the writing there for sure. the introduction to the book was also an incredible essay, i don’t think i would’ve gotten as much out of the tape diaries without it. but i think it also left me with slightly higher expectations of what the collection would be—even with wojnarowicz’s terrific speaking this book really is just an assortment of fragmented thoughts, not curated in any way. which is really beautiful in its honesty, but does make it a little harder to make meaning out of.
