Wait for me at the Bottom of the Pool: the Writings of Jack Smith (High Risk) Book

During his lifetime Jack Smith was a legendary playwright, critic, and filmmaker with a small, but faithful cult following. His movie masterpiece Flaming Creatures defined avant-garde cinema in the 1960s. This collection of interviews, essays, and play scripts brings together most of Smith's unpublished work. With his sharp wit, shrewd observations, and radical aesthetics, Smith--who died of AIDS in 1989--is now viewed by many as an innovative founding father of post-modern performance and gay sensibility. Smith's work is still shocking and Wait For Me at the Bottom of the Pool is indispensable for anyone interested in contemporary theater and film.Read More
