Produktinformationen "Deep House"

A New Yorker, Time Out, NPR, Electric Lit and Publishers Weekly Book of the Year, and Lambda Literary Award Finalist

'A fabulously riveting hybrid memoir and queer history lesson' -The New York TimesIt's 1996, and Jeremy, a young American, has met the British boy of his dreams - just as, amid a media frenzy, US Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act, denying same-sex couples rights including immigration. The pair snatch time in forests and deserts, London fashion shows, and East Village hotel rooms; eventually, finding no other way to stay together, they shack up illicitly among unlikely allies in San Francisco.What emerges is an unexpected romantic comedy haunted by centuries of gay ghosts. Deep House moves through the couple's various domiciles while unlocking doors to a lineage of outsiders who came before them: hapless criminals, sexpot bartenders, friars, pirates, government workers who subvert the system and activists who go all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for their freedoms.Combining cultural history with radically intimate memoir, Deep House is at once a romp through the queer archives and the innermost tale of two boyfriends who made a home in the shadows of a turbulent civil rights battle.

Gay Bar
'A brilliantly written and incisive account of gay life' Colm Tóibín 'Each page made me yearn for the dance floor... I'm so glad that someone has written this definitive book about gay bars' Amelia Abraham, author of Queer Intentions Propulsive music and euphoric crowds; drag queens and go-go dancers; strobe lights, dark rooms and glory holes. Gay bars have long been sites of joy and solidarity, sexual expression and activism. But around the world, they are closing. Atherton Lin draws from his experiences of clubs, pubs and dives in London, San Francisco and Los Angeles - and a transatlantic romance that began late one restless night - to trace queer histories. An expansive and vivacious celebration of an institution, Gay Bar is also a stylish, intimate exploration of what these spaces mean, how they are changing and what we stand to lose when they close their doors. 'Essential' Vogue'Expansive, exuberant and horny' Attitude

Gay bar. Perché uscivamo la notte
Rifugio, palcoscenico, spazio di incontri, di solidarietà, di espressione sessuale: il bar gay è stato a lungo il luogo in cui una comunità priva di diritti e di rappresentazione, esclusa dal centro della scena e delle città, ha potuto riunirsi, sperimentare l'appartenenza, esistere davvero. Oggi, uno per uno, quei luoghi stanno scomparendo, chiusi oppure trasformati in qualcosa di più innocuo (e certo più commerciabile). Possiamo leggerlo come un buon segno, la dimostrazione che non c'è più ragione di nascondersi; ma, senza voler negare il valore di quello che abbiamo guadagnato, è possibile raccontare anche quello che stiamo perdendo? Muovendosi tra analisi politica, ricostruzione storica, aneddoti personali e una giusta dose di gossip, Jeremy Atherton Lin ci guida in un tour transatlantico dei locali che hanno segnato la sua vita e la storia della comunità LGBTQ, una comunità che forse è più frammentata e meno inclusiva di come vorrebbe rappresentarsi. Gay Bar è un perturbante memoir erotico, un romanzo d'amore, un'analisi poetica del desiderio che non fa distinzione di generi né di orientamenti e che segna l'irruzione nella scena letteraria di un autore strepitoso.
