Book Reviews of Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940

Book Review: A fabulous read
Summary: 5 Stars

George Chauncey has managed to mix strong research, true history and a flavorful writing approach to produce a box which is both informative and entertaining. It's rich with detail and captures an era gone with immediacy and flair. Chauncey has discovered the gay history we thought existed isn't quite what actually happened.
