ABOUT THE BOOK
A Book of the Year for The New Yorker and Electric Lit and a Time Out 10 Best Books of 2025.
It’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.
From the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Gay Bar comes a rule-breaking, genre-busting story of outlaw love. 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.
