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

5.0

Really informative and a huge chuck of history that I honestly knew only a tiny bit about before. I listened to a library hold, but I think this is going on my wish list of queer history things I want to own one day, bc there is so much I would go back and double check, want to remember. The narrator did a fantastic job. I sometimes struggle with non fiction audiobooks, esp long and more historical, researched based, basically thesis paper style ones, but the narrator did a fantastic job keeping me engaged. Def rec if you want more abt queer history. ESPECIALLY pre-stonewall. We were very queer and apparently obviously so in many places here.

Great listen.
