Book description
The award-winning, field-defining history of gay life in New York City in the early to mid-20th century Gay New York brilliantly shatters the myth that before the 1960s gay life existed only in the closet, where gay men were isolated, invisible, and self-hating. Drawing on a rich trove of diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, George Chauncey constructs a fascinating portrait of a vibrant, cohesive gay world that is not supposed to have existed. Called monumental (Washington Post), unassailable (Boston Globe), brilliant (The Nation), and a first-rate book of history (The New York Times), Gay New Yorkforever changed how we think about the history of gay life in New York City, and beyond.

Screwtape
ListenBook's support for binaural audio processing is a thoughtful touch that reduces listening fatigue. Simplifying audiobook management β this app's functionality is a true asset. It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
