Who's she when she's at home? Please join Gay's the Word bookshop and author Matt Cook in celebrating the paperback release of... Queer Domesticities Homosexuality and Home Life in Twentieth-Century London Queer Domesticities is about the ways in which queer men have made, experienced and described their homes in London over the past century. It gives a historical perspective on the new interest in the home lives and styles of gay men which has come with gay marriage and adoption and with TV and media depictions of gay men with particular domestic flair. The book rests on oral histories and unpublished diaries of relatively unknown men and on reassessments of famous and infamous figures, including artists Charles Shannon and Charles Ricketts, architect and romantic socialist C.R.Ashbee, early reformer George Ives, interior designer Oliver Ford, writer and editor J.R.Ackerley, 'stately homo' Quentin Crisp, playwright Joe Orton and film-maker Derek Jarman.
