A review by aphonusbalonus
Queer Lives Across the Wall: Desire and Danger in Divided Berlin, 1945-1970 by Andrea Rottmann

5.0

(ARC exchanged for an honest review via NetGalley) This was a brilliant, meticulously and passionately researched book about the lives of queer people in a post WWII world. The dedication revealed to unearthing this information alone (which was revealed in the introduction) is nothing short of awe-worthy. Having names and photographs of queer trailblazers in Berlin was endlessly fascinating and I cannot recommend this book enough.
