Beschreibung

<p><b>A Book of the Year for <i>The New Yorker </i>and <i>Electric Lit </i>and a <i>Time Out</i> 10 Best Books of 2025</b><br><br>It's 1996, and Jeremy, a young American, has met the British boy of his dreams - just as, amid a media frenzy, US Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act, denying same-sex couples rights including immigration. The pair snatch time in forests and deserts, London fashion shows, and East Village hotel rooms; eventually, finding no other way to stay together, they shack up illicitly among unlikely allies in San Francisco.<br><br>What emerges is an unexpected romantic comedy haunted by centuries of gay ghosts. <i>Deep House</i> moves through the couple's various domiciles while unlocking doors to a lineage of outsiders who came before them: hapless criminals, sexpot bartenders, friars, pirates, government workers who subvert the system and activists who go all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for their freedoms. Combining cultural history with radically intimate memoir, <i>Deep House</i> is at once a romp through the queer archives and the innermost tale of two boyfriends who made a home in the shadows of a turbulent civil rights battle.</p>
