Drawing on a rich trove of diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, George Chauncey constructs a fascinating portrait of a vibrant, cohesive gay world that is not supposed to have existed. Called "monumental" (Washington Post), "unassailable" (Boston Globe), "brilliant" (Nation), and "a first-rate book of history" (New York Times), Gay New York forever changed how we think about the history of gay life in New York City, and beyond." —Publisher. / Contents: Introduction. Male (homo)sexual practices and identities in the early twentieth century. The making of the gay male world. The politics of gay culture. Epilogue: The strange career of the closet.
