Love the spirit of the book, a tribute, and an anti-erasure pill.

Given the ratings, I expected more.

I don't think there has been enough rigor in the investigation: I detected wrong dates and confusing names, a structure that —probably for the sake of brevity—, sacrificed clarity and direction, to the point that some biographical sketches seemed rightly truncated to me.

The best of the book starts with the biographical sketches from the beginning of the 20th century onwards.

As for the show more writing, there were moments where I was hard for me to deal with grammar. I'm not sure if it was because it's poor or because my English isn't good enough. show less

Loved this. Like one of those old style Who's Who books, or an excellent encyclopedia of tiny queer love stories. Worth it for reference, worth it for the reminder of how much love and art and blood sweat and tears gay people have put into the world, often unknown until after death.
