Luminous presence: Derek Jarman's life-writing is the first book to
analyse the prolific writing of queer icon Derek Jarman. Although
he is well known for his avant-garde filmmaking, his garden, and
his AIDS activism, he is also the author of over a dozen books,
many of which are autobiographical. Much of Jarman's exploration of
post-war queer identity and imaginative response to HIV/AIDS can be
found in his books, such as the lyrical AIDS diaries Modern Nature
and Smiling in Slow Motion. This book fully explores, for the first
time, the remarkable range and depth of Jarman's writing. Spanning
his career, Alexandra Parsons argues that Jarman's self-reflexive
response to the HIV/AIDS crisis was critical in changing the
cultural terms of queer representation from the 1980s onwards.
Luminous presence is of great interest to students, scholars and
readers of queer histories in literature, art and film. -- .
