In the Shadow of the American Dream: The Diaries of David Wojnarowicz [Jill Johnston’s copy]

Near Fine in black boards in a Fine dust-jacket, 263 pages. Book is flawless and/but bears the rubber stamp in blue ink of the late great Jill Johnston (1929-2010) as it is from her library. Johnston was an art and cultural critic, radical lesbian feminist and champion of the avant-garde. The stamp reads “Write first. then live.” J.J. // we are unclear if the artist and the writer were acquainted but it seems likely they would have been.
