Times Square Red, Times Square Blue by Samuel R. Delany
4.0
Super fascinating book!
Honestly prefer the first part to the second even if it is a bit grotesque. The invitation into an otherwise unknown gay underbelly is incredibly exciting! Histories and analysis can be boring but having the perspective told as ab out of order epic from the person it all happened too adds a bit of flavor that was sooo necessary. If these things didn’t really happen then I probably would care a whole lot less... but it never feels to dramatic or unrealistic. Wild book with wild encounters but a story worth diving into!
