Plot summary
On December 19, 1974, Peter Hujar arrives at Linda Rosenkrantz's SoHo apartment for an interview. Linda is collecting accounts of ordinary days in artists' lives, and Peter has forgotten her request to write his down, so he recounts it aloud while she records. He describes sleeping through his alarm and being woken by Jacqueline de Mornay, a French editor from Elle who comes to collect his photographs of Lauren Hutton. Susan Sontag calls for directions to his gallery exhibition, and he works out what Jacqueline owes him before returning to bed. His next assignment is a portrait of Allen Ginsberg for The New York Times; Ginsberg insists on being photographed outdoors.
