Since I Laid My Burden Down
Brontez Purnell is a multi-disciplinary artist based with a wide and diverse fanbase, drawing from his work in music (bands like Gravy Train!!! and The Younger Lovers); zines (Fag School); dance (the Brontez Purnell Dance Company); literature (The Cruising Diaries and Johnny Would You Love Me); and film («I Want Your Love»). He is a media-savvy, well-connected cultural figure that regularly receives attention for his projects: recently, he has been featured in Bookforum, SF Weekly, KQED Arts, SF Gate, Lambda Literary Review, and Out magazine. Although this will be his first widely distributed book, he should be a recognized quantity for media and individual readers.
