Gay Club in Markham

And could this spell the end of gay identity as we know it? In Gay Bar, the author embarks upon a transatlantic tour of the bar that marked his life, with each club, pub, and dive revealing itself to be a palimpsest of queer history. In prose as exuberant as a hit of poppers and dazzling as a disco ball, he time-travels from Hollywood nights in the s to a warren of cruising tunnels built beneath London in the s; from chichi bars in the aftermath of AIDS to today's fluid queer spaces; through glory holes, into Crisco-slicked dungeons and down San Francisco alleys.

He 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 a stylish and nuanced inquiry into the connection between place and identity--a tale of liberation, but one that invites us to go beyond the simplified Stonewall mythology and enter lesser-known battlefields in the struggle to carve out a territory.

Elegiac, randy, and gay with wry wit, Gay Bar is at once a serious critical inquiry, a love story and an epic night out to markham. Title availability. Subject and genre Lin, Jeremy Atherton.
