A review by mandapandagrace
Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World 1890-1940 by George Chauncey

4.0

Hands down, my favorite book of the semester. It's a hefty 380 pages long but so well written and interesting that it reads like a much shorter book. The author handles his research masterfully and creates a whole new world for you to see in the pre-World War II era of New York's culture. Once school is finished, I will certainly be revisiting this one for a leisurely stroll through the information rather than a speed read for class. :)
