DESCRIPTION:
Curtis's small chapbook has never been widely available but is reprinted here with more material by him and an introduction by Van Sant. In 1984 film director Gus Van Sant (Drugstore Cowboy and Good Will Hunting) began his career with a small, black-and-white independent movie called Mala Noche. Curtis's authentic voice sounds like a cross between Allen Ginsberg and the over-narration on a travelogue about inner-city life.

Rare insight into the imaginative genius of cult literature's pagan god. J. Spirit said Love truly grabbed hold of the author with full obsession. Impassioned book full of genuine longing and angst. Love truly grabbed hold of the author with full obsession and it is expressed and recorded superbly. In its way, better than the film. Love it. My only qualm is the lack of quality of how the physical book is put together. The first page fell out. other
