An indispensable, intimate, and stylish celebration. “Gay Bar is an absolute tour de force.” (Maggie Nelson)"Beautiful...Atherton Lin has a five-octave, Mariah Carey-esque range for discussing gay sex.” –New York Times Book ReviewStrobing lights and dark rooms; throbbing house and drag queens on counters; first kisses, last call: the gay bar has long been a place of solidarity and sexual expression—whatever your scene, whoever you’re seeking. 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?In 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. The 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.

I enjoy reading books about LGBTQ history and culture, and I was interested in this particular book because I read an excellent article the author wrote for LitHub about gay bars. This book is more about Jeremy Atherton Lin's journey of gay nightlife with the husband he calls "Famous." It's very dry at times when he's talking about how he didn't fit in among the Castro crowd in San Francisco or Los Angeles and gets tiring when he talks about his cruising experiences in the bars of London. But there are moments when he reveals some historical facts that are important, such as the impact of AIDS, the police raids, gentrification, and diversity issues. I really wish this would have been a more in-depth history instead of a memoir and there was a great opportunity to explore more issues surrounding the gay bars as many are disappearing during the pandemic.
