Trade Review
Intimacy as history! I adored these glimpses into gay men's lives, and thank David Bergman for having uncovered them. I only wish I'd had this book decades sooner. - Michael Lowenthal, author of Charity Girl ""Bergman has brought together an impressive, diverse cache of source materials in a field which has been written on, but has always lacked a generic anthology. There have been subject- and period-based anthologies, but nothing spanning the 150 years or so of available material in this way."" - Richard Canning, University of Sheffield
