In this time when artistic cowardice (that being marketability) reigns, one would do well to read Kicking the Pricks." —Lambda Book Report "The clarity with which Derek Jarman offered up his life and the living of it, particularly since the epiphany—I can call it nothing less—of his illness was a genius stroke, not only of provocation, but of grace." — Tilda Swinton "The most engrossing book I’ve read in an age...It offers a back-room viewof Jarman’s career as well as his musings on art and film...Jarman is the sort of troublemaking visionary who one day may be compared with Blake." —Time Out London Derek Jarman (1942–1994), one of England’s foremost filmmakers, wrote and directed many feature films, including Sebastiane, Jubilee, Caravaggio, and Blue, as well as numerous short films and music videos. He was a stage designer, artist, writer, gardener, and an outspoken AIDS and queer rights activist in the UK and the United States. His books include At Your Own Risk, Chroma, Modern Nature, and Smiling in Slow Motion, all available from the University of Minnesota Press.
