Essayist Jeremy Atherton Lin discusses his new book Deep House, a hybrid of queer cultural history and radically intimate memoir, in conversation with Margate-based writer Mendez.Part hot outlaw love story, part genre-defying historical kaleidoscope, American essayist Jeremy Atherton Lin's latest book Deep House is a winding road back into his own past as well as a vivid account of the fight for gay rights. It opens in 1996, as Jeremy has met the starry-eyed British boy of his dreams, even as US Congress prepares to deny same-sex couples their federal rights under the Defense of Marriage Act. From there, the book follows the pair as they steal away to remote and rented places of safety, from Berlin sex clubs to San Francisco dives, whilst also tracing a lineage of gay men - the activists, the artists, the pirates and the bartenders - who came and fought before them. Gay Bar: Why We Went Out was a New York Times Top Book of 2021 and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography. Jeremy Atherton Lin's essays appear in numerous places including the Paris Review, the Times Literary Supplement &amp; the Yale Review, for which he was a finalist for the National Magazine Award. He is currently developing a new book entitled School. Jeremy will be discussing Deep House in conversation with Mendez, an acclaimed novelist and screenwriter based in Margate.
