商品描述
A remarkable time capsule of Simi Valley, 1979, written before the author would become one of LA's most influential artists of subsequent decades. When Sean DeLear died prematurely in Vienna in 2017, his friends discovered--among other treasures--an extensive diary kept at the age of fourteen. Still living with his Christian parents in the notoriously racist Los Angeles suburb of Simi Valley, Sean wrote almost every day about crushes and hustling, waterbeds, blackmail, Donna Summer, gloryholes, racism, and shoplifting gay porn. DeLear would go on to become the frontman for the Los Angeles punk/powerpop band Glue. He was a punk musician, visual artist, intercontinental scenester, video vixen, party host, marijuana farmer, and sometime-collaborator of artists such as Kembra Pfahler and Vaginal Davis. DeLear's forgotten diaries capture a moment in Los Angeles underground and queer history when, as his friend the writer Cesar Padilla notes, "It wasn't cool at all to be trans, gay, queer or whatever. Those words weren't even in the vocabulary." I Could Not Believe It, Padilla continues, "is a raw fearless innocent gay Black kid's journey coming out into life at an incredible pre-AIDS period. It's not cognizant of being literature. It's as naïve and forthcoming as it gets. It wasn't written with the desire to be published so Sean didn't hold back. Sean's goal was to be true to himself."
商品描述(中文翻譯)
1979年西米谷的一個非凡時光膠囊，寫於作者成為洛杉磯未來幾十年最具影響力的藝術家之前。
當肖恩·德利爾（Sean DeLear）於2017年在維也納過早去世時，他的朋友們發現了——除了其他珍寶外——他在十四歲時所寫的廣泛日記。當時他仍與基督教父母住在臭名昭著的種族歧視洛杉磯郊區西米谷，肖恩幾乎每天都在寫關於暗戀、賺錢、水床、勒索、唐娜·桑默（Donna Summer）、榮耀洞、種族主義和偷竊同性戀色情片的事情。 德利爾後來成為洛杉磯朋克/力量流行樂隊Glue的主唱。他是一位朋克音樂家、視覺藝術家、跨洲社交圈人物、音樂視頻女主角、派對主持人、大麻農場主，以及偶爾與Kembra Pfahler和Vaginal Davis等藝術家合作。 德利爾被遺忘的日記捕捉了洛杉磯地下和酷兒歷史中的一個時刻，正如他的朋友作家塞薩爾·帕迪利亞（Cesar Padilla）所指出的那樣，「當時成為跨性別者、同性戀者、酷兒或其他身份根本不酷。那些詞彙甚至不在詞彙表中。」我無法相信，帕迪利亞繼續說，「是一個原始、無畏、天真的黑人同性戀孩子在驚人的前艾滋病時期走出生活的旅程。它並不意識到自己是文學。它是如此天真和坦率。這不是出於想要出版的願望而寫的，因此肖恩沒有保留。肖恩的目標是真實地做自己。」作者簡介
Sean DeLear (1965-2017) was an influential member of the "Silver Lake scene" of Los Angeles' 1980s and 1990s before moving to Europe. In Vienna, he became part of the art collective Gelitin and devised a solo cabaret show, Sean DeLear on the Rocks. DeLear was a cultural boundary breaker whose work transcended sexuality, race, age, genres, and scenes. As Lina Lecaro wrote in the LA Weekly, "Sean DeLear epitomized everything that ever made me want to write about Los Angeles nightlife ... He was Los Angeles royalty." Brontez Purnell is a writer, musician, dancer, filmmaker, and performance artist. He is the author of a graphic novel, a novella, a children's book, and the novel Since I Laid My Burden Down. The recipient of a 2018 Whiting Writers' Award for Fiction and the 2022 Foundation for Contemporary Arts Robert Rauschenberg Award, he was named one of the thirty-two Black Male Writers of Our Time by T: The New York Times Style Magazine in 2018. Born in Triana, Alabama, he's lived in Oakland, California, for more than a decade.
