John Rechy - "City of Night"
(1963) 'City of Night'
- ooh, the Beat generation LGBTQ classic. It's of it's time, so if you don't like the Jack Kerouacs and Alan Ginsbergs of this world, this might not be for you. But we love those, and we love this. Shows the dark side of city life which never seems to change or get any lighter and features the (in)famous Do-Nuts 'riot' - where the LGBTQ community said 'enough is enough'. Helped launch the gay rights movement. A book to read at night. Why? Because you need to feel it as you read it. So go and sit in a diner or cafe at night and feel a bit low... then read this. See?
