But in urban centers around the world\, they are closing\, a cultural demolition that has Jeremy Atherton Lin wondering: What was the gay bar? How have they shaped him? And could this spell the end of gay identity as we know it?\nIn Gay Bar\, the author embarks upon 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. In prose as exuberant as a hit of poppers and dazzling as a disco ball\, he 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 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.\nThe 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 sparkling with wry wit\, Gay Bar is at once a serious critical inquiry\, a love story and an epic night out to remember.
