RaveThe Guardian...a funny, tender and disturbing history of LGBT life ... The book is studded with the stories of Brooklyn-based A-list gays of yesteryear: Walt Whitman, Hart Crane, Truman Capote ... the book also excels in uncovering what life was like for \'ordinary\' queer folk ... One of the fascinating aspects of the book is how accepted the queer community was in Brooklyn at certain periods (and by certain people) ... There’s probably no better time for us to relearn Brooklyn’s queer history.
