Customer Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
Chauncey's book is extremely well-written, and very informative. It is truly a historical triumph. It unabashedly delves into the complicated constructs that we in the gay community have built around sexuality, and how those constructs play themselves out in the larger society. Chauncey also does an incredible job getting the reader into the mindset of the early 20th Century New Yorker and illustrating how different that mindeset is from our present day thinking. However, it is fascinating to see how much of the thought from that period still influences our thought today, and how it interacts with modern ideas. Congratulations, Mr. Chauncey, on a job well done!
