Klappentext
In his second book of cultural memoir, following up his “absolute tour de force” (Maggie Nelson) Gay Bar, Jeremy Atherton Lin lays bare a love outside the law—the blooming of his relationship through pivotal years in the gay marriage debate. In 1996, Atherton Lin meets the boy of his dreams—a mumbling, starry-eyed Brit—just as US Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies same-sex couples federal rights, including immigration. Being together across borders means dropping out, hiding away, and seeking out sanctuary among unlikely allies in a “city of refuge.”Layering their experiences with those of past outliers, including his parents’ interracial romance, Atherton Lin explores the many forms of intimacy and questions the mechanisms that legitimize love. Told through personal and historical memory, DEEP HOUSE weaves a chorus of whispered disclosures of undocumented domestic life with the courthouse battles, media spin, and political maneuvers surrounding the most contentious civil rights issue of an era.
