Fantagraphics is proud to present one of the most unusual and moving true love stories ever told. Famed science fiction author Samuel R. Delany recounts his unconventional courtship and blooming relationship with his partner Dennis, a love born on the streets of New York City, illustrated with unflinching detail and fluid, dynamic expressionism by artist Mia Wolff. Originally published in 1999 and out of print for years, Bread & Wine now comes to you in late June in a new hardcover edition with an introduction by Alan Moore and a new interview postscript with the creators and subjects of the book.
As the debate over same-sex marriage continues, this book transcends the politics and proves that love can be found and flourish under the most unexpected circumstances. Preview a 6-page excerpt, and pre-order a copy right here.

“New York City, August 1999. Oona and I sat outside on the stoop of my friend Elise’s apartment in the East Village. The 100 block of St. Mark’s Place, between 8th & 9th Streets and First & Second Avenues. Such a dreamy location, especially for a queer punk 16 year-old. I say punk, but really I was more New Wave, listening to the music that the kids who’d hung around St. Mark’s Place 10 or 15 years earlier had listened to: Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Patti Smith, Talking Heads. I started having sex that summer, and it was like everything in my world blew open, became filled with a mythic and endless possibility, the electric wonder of what it is to have a body. I was charged by touch, ruled by feeling, and like most teenagers, I had a soundtrack.” — from something new & as of yet untitled. there will be more.- 1 year ago

Iggy Pop’s “Sixteen,” live. Apropos of tonight’s all-night writing binge. I can’t decide if this video is erotic or terrifying or both, though.
Okay. It is officially Bedtime for Bonzo.- 1 year ago
