Review this book!
A look at the gay world of pre-war New York City, which was, in fact, not a hidden subculture, but was very out and very proud.

Publisher Notes
Winner of the 1994 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History, Chauncey's brilliant work challenges the conventional wisdom that before the 1960s gay life existed only in the closet. "Chauncey's genius here is the way he combines real lives and theory".--Out. Illustrations.
Media Reviews
