7 Miles A Second by David Wojnarowicz

A searing, visually inventive autobiographical graphic memoir that recounts a life shaped by poverty, abuse, addiction, and fierce creative impulse amid 1980s–90s New York and the AIDS crisis; through jagged, collage-like art and raw prose it follows the narrator’s coming-of-age, intense friendships and lovers (including the loss of a cherished companion to AIDS), the development of his art and activism, and the rage, grief, and urgency that drive his confrontations with homophobia, institutional neglect, and cultural indifference.
