DIARIOS PORNO

Tremble, dear reader. Tremble until you burst. For the first time, the obscene reflections on (gay) porn by the one and only true Heretic of Queer Dissidence. Bruce LaBruce, that cult director and 'reluctant pornographer', is not just a cog in the wheel of New Queer Cinema, he is its fucking backbone. He emerged like a virus in the Toronto underground in the late 1980s with queer punk fanzines and Super 8 films that made the eyes of the moral establishment bleed, before infecting the international independent film scene. Meanwhile, LaBruce spilled his corrosive ink and fired his camera for magazines such as Honcho, Inches, Exclaim!, Vice, and other counterculture strongholds that dared to publish him. This collection vomits out his most visceral, political, incendiary, and ruthlessly witty articles on pornography. The volume includes a verbal confrontation between LaBruce and gay porn's sacred beast Peter Berlin, politically incorrect essays, articles that ask no permission, and three brutally honest shooting diaries for SKIN GANG, THE RASPBERRY REICH, and L.A. ZOMBIE. All accompanied by boundary-shattering photographs, artwork, and portraits you won't be able to get out of your head, including images by Richard Kern, Raul Hidalgo, Ricardo Gomes, Terry Richardson, and other visual conspirators.
