Gay Bar: Why We Went Out by Jeremy Atherton Lin

informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

Part memoir, part sociological study on the necessity of third spaces. From start to finish, this book is electric, dimly-lit, smells like sweat. Atherton Lin is one of our best queer historians and one of our best preservationists of nightlife culture, asking what connects the two and if one can truly exist without the other.
