Now they are closing, a cultural demolition that has Jeremy Atherton Lin wondering: Could this spell the end of gay identity as we know it? In prose as exuberant as a hit of poppers and dazzling as a disco ball, the author embarks on a transatlantic tour of the hangouts that marked his life, with each club, pub and dive revealing itself to be a palimpsest of queer history. Gay Bar time-travels from Hollywood nights in the 1970s to a warren of cruising tunnels built beneath London in the 1770s; from chichi bars in the wake of AIDS to today's fluid queer spaces; through glory holes, into Crisco-slicked dungeons and down San Francisco alleys. Atherton Lin charts police raids and riots, posing and passing out--and a chance encounter one restless night that would change his life forever. The journey that emerges is an inquiry into the link between place and identity, inviting us to go beyond Stonewall and enter the underground"--adapted from book jacket.14aLin, Jeremy Atherton. 4aHomosexuality zEngland zLondon xHistory y20th century. 4aHomosexuality zEngland zLondon xHistory y21st century. 4aHomosexuality zCalifornia zLos Angeles xHistory y20th century. 4aHomosexuality zCalifornia zLos Angeles xHistory y21st century. 4aHomosexuality zCalifornia zSan Francisco xHistory y20th century. 4aHomosexuality zCalifornia zSan Francisco xHistory y21st century. 4aGay bars zEngland zLondon xHistory y20th century. 4aGay bars zEngland zLondon xHistory y21st century. 4aGay bars zCalifornia zLos Angeles xHistory y20th century. 4aGay bars zCalifornia zLos Angeles xHistory y21st century. 4aGay bars zCalifornia zSan Francisco xHistory y20th century. 4aGay bars zCalifornia zSan Francisco xHistory y21st century. 2lcccBK 00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oHQ76.25 .L56 2021pPNLIB21062784r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK c2971d2971
