'Brilliantly written and incisive' Colm Toibin 'An absolute tour de
force' Maggie Nelson Winner of the National Book Critics Circle
Award for Autobiography Longlisted for the Jhalak Prize 2022
Propulsive music and euphoric crowds; drag queens and go-go
dancers; strobe lights, dark rooms and glory holes. Gay bars have
long been sites of joy and solidarity, sexual expression and
activism. But around the world, they are closing. Atherton Lin
draws from his experiences of clubs, pubs and dives in London, San
Francisco and Los Angeles - and a transatlantic romance that began
late one restless night - to trace queer histories. An expansive
and vivacious celebration of an institution, Gay Bar is also a
stylish, intimate exploration of what these spaces mean, how they
are changing and what we stand to lose when they close their doors.
