The Living End
New York: William Morrow, 1994. 1st Edition. Quarto, publisher's illustrated stiff paper wraps with french flaps.
Screenplays to Gregg Araki’s The Living End (1994) and Totally Fucked Up (1993). Considered by critics to be the “gay Thelma and Louise” and an early entry in the New Queer Cinema genre, The Living End centers on a pair of HIV positive men who embark on a nihilistic cross-country killing spree. Episodic, experimental, and the first installment of Araki’s “Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy,” Totally Fucked Up details the lives of six gay teens who discuss their experiences directly to the camera. Forewords by Dennis Cooper (The Living End) and American writer-director Richard Linklater (Totally Fucked Up). Illustrated throughout in black-and-white with film stills. Stain along top edge of text-block, single large crease to upper wrap. Very good. Item #6361
