Confronting Contagion
“I abstract this disease I have in the same way you abstract death. Sometimes I don’t think about this disease for hours. This process lets me get work done, and work gives me life, or at least makes sense of living for short periods of time.”
—David Wojnarowicz, “Postcards from America:
X-Rays from Hell” (1989)
