Mapplethorpe: Assault With A Deadly Camera Memoir 1994

Mapplethorpe: Assault With A Deadly Camera harback memoir by Jack Fritscher Ph.D 1st ed. 1994. 

Defending his bi-coastal lover Robert Mapplethorpe, Jack Fritscher (editor of Drummer Magazine) based this personal memoir of sex, art, race, politics, drugs, and friendship on his detailed 1970s journals, and on his interviews with a dozen of Mapplethorpe’s intimate and famous friends. He has written a fast-paced impressionist book, suitable for our social-media times. His quick-messaging text can often be facetiously provocative because everyone seems to have fierce opinions about the controversial Mapplethorpe.

Pretty good read! B&W photographs accompany text. Jacket shows some scuffs and foxing. 

6.5" x 9.5". 316 pages.
