How Deep House Redefines Queer Love: Inside Jeremy Atherton Lin’s Unforgettable Story
To have read both Gay Bar and Deep House is to witness a writer’s evolution. What begins in Gay Bar as a thoughtful and thought-provoking interweaving of the personal with the historical becomes even more profound, more tightly interactive, in Deep House. In the second memoir, there is a sense that any of Mr. Lin’s lingering reserve for describing not just the amatory but also the erotic has faded. It is profoundly moving to read along as he interplays the legal concerns that surround queer relationships with the intimate, erotic facts of those relationships.
