Four sections--\"Into the Drift and Sway,\" \"Doing Time in a Disposable Body,\" \"Spiral,\" and \"Memories that Smell like Gasoline\"--are made of images and indictments of a precocious adolescence, and his later adventures in the streets of New York.

He came to prominence in New York in the 1980s, part of a cohort of East Village artists including Nan Goldin, Kiki Smith, and Peter Hujar.
