Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 7x5x1; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. "Gay life in New York City in the 1950s and '60s was an entirely different world from today. Intensely secretive and desperately determined to stay that way, its action took place behind the unmarked doors of bars and in apartments where the shades were always drawn. Underlying the frenetic living and high hilarity was a sense of shame that was inevitable during a time when shock treatment and lobotomies were considered acceptable 'cures' for homosexuality."-Faber & Faber.
