informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

The first essay is 5 stars, the second is maybe 2.5 because I struggled so much to get through it.

q_bert13's review against another edition

challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

Two complimentary essays that work together to introduce themes of queer theory while exploring the personal lives of queer men in New York during a major time of gentrification. Observations mainly surround the dwindling numbers of New York porn houses (as the author recalls personal memories of those he met visiting there) Text at times gets very pornographic (understandable though with the subject matter) and is a great insight towards queer lives of the 'past'.
