Deep House: The Gayest Love Story Ever Told

內容簡介

內容簡介 《紐約客》年度之書。那是 1996 年，年輕的美國人傑瑞米遇到了他夢寐以求的英國男孩——正當媒體瘋狂報導之際，美國國會正準備制定《婚姻保護法》，拒絕賦予同性伴侶包括移民在內的權利。這對伴侶在森林與沙漠、倫敦時裝秀和東村的旅館房間裡爭取相處的時間；最終，在找不到其他留在一起的方法後，他們在舊金山的一群意想不到的盟友中非法同居。這發展出一段出人意料的浪漫喜劇，並被數世紀以來的男同志幽靈所縈繞。《深層浩室》（Deep House）穿梭於這對伴侶的各種住所，同時開啟了通往他們之前外來者血脈的大門：倒霉的罪犯、性感的調酒師、修士、海盜、顛覆體制的政府工作人員，以及一路戰到最高法院為自由而戰的活動家。結合了文化史與極度親密的回憶錄，《深層浩室》既是一場酷兒檔案館的嬉戲，也是兩位在動盪民權鬥爭陰影下建立家園的男友最內心的故事。A Book of the Year for The New YorkerIt’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.What emerges is an unexpected romantic comedy haunted by centuries of gay ghosts. Deep House 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, Deep House 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.
