Review
"Jarman s light illuminates the wilderness as brightly as ever." "New Statesman""
"Jarman s gifts, in prose as well as film, are spatial, visual, imagistic." "Sunday Times (London)""
"This brutally candid memoir by British artist and filmmaker Jarman offers a glimpse into the making of such controversial films as Sebastiane, The Tempest, and Caravaggio. Writing in a diary format, Jarman jumps back and forth in time, discussing his acceptance of his homosexuality at age 16 and his strong belief that a fully realized sexuality must drive art and politics." --Publishers Weekly
"Jarman writes in lucid, accessible, and evocative prose. His highly articulate musings on contemporary art and cinema (neither of which has his approval) are both thought-provoking and interesting." --Library Journal
"Jarman's light illuminates the wilderness as brightly as ever." --New Statesman
