Reviews

"I gobbled this book up. It is a quick read with lots of information. If you love history, then add this Queer Lives across the Wall to your list." - Mx. Phoebe (Mx. Phoebe’s Viewpoint) "This book stands as a shining example—to non-queer as well as to queer historians—of how to find creative solutions to archival issues and how to persevere in the face of adversity. In daring to articulate these most hidden aspects of the "love that dare not speak its name," Rottmann provides us with courageous models and antecedents. The book itself feels like a labor of love." - Mark Fenemore, Manchester Metropolitan University (German Studies Review)
