From 1990s New York to San Francisco, a queer romance unfolds in the shadow of the Defense of Marriage ActAbout this Event
Join us at Libreria as Jeremy Atherton Lin celebrates the paperback release of his acclaimed new book Deep House: The Gayest Love Story Ever Told.
Part love story, part cultural history, Deep House begins in 1996, when a young American meets the British boy of his dreams just as the U.S. Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act, denying same-sex couples rights including immigration. Forced to build a life in the shadow of the law, the pair move through forests and deserts, East Village hotel rooms, London fashion shows, and eventually an illicit domestic arrangement in San Francisco.
