Kicking the Pricks

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £183.51
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In 1986 Derek Jarman started filming The Last of England, his most original and technically innovative film and also his most personal work. Shortly after the filming began, Jarman also began work on this volume of his journals, which contains diary entries and interviews, notes on the script, stills from the filming, and photographs of Derek, his family and friends.Here Jarman writes of his extraordinary childhood and his father's kleptomania; coming to terms with his sexuality; life in the sex- and drug-filled sixties and seventies; his early work as a painter and designer for Ken Russell's ground-breaking films; and debut as a director. Along with Dancing Ledge, Modern Nature, and At Your Own Risk, this fascinating fourth volume completes the journals of Derek Jarman, and presents in total the details of an remarkably diverse and creative life.
