What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A savvy political, legal, literary (and even fashion) history, Bronski’s narrative is as intellectually rigorous as it is entertaining.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Bronski demonstrates with wit, insight, and impeccable scholarship that queer lives are, and always have been, woven into the very fabric of this country. Readable, radical, and smart—a must-read.”
—Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home
“Always insightful, and provocative.”
—John D’Emilio, author of Lost Prophet
“In the age of Twitter and reductive history, we need a complex, fully realized, radical reassessment of history—and A Queer History of the United States is exactly that.”
—Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard Out of Carolina
“This book is a revelation… . Bronski has a Zinn-like grasp of the ties that bind us all together and how to illuminate them on the page.”
—Jewelle Gomez, activist and author of The Gilda Stories
“Elegant, insightfully selective, and unremittingly intelligent.”
—Samuel R. Delany, author of Times Square Red, Times Square Blue
