|These interviews are wonderful. Extremely interesting and informative about gay life in East Germany.| —John C. Fouts |A fascinating book. As far as I know, it is the first time that working class gays have given us an insight into their lives.... A singular contribution.| —George L. Mosse |Lemke's interviews with 14 gay men, mainly working class, not only encompass a range of gay lifestyles... but reflect almost a century of German history.... Ultimately, love and a steady partnership are upheld as the ideal.| —Publishers Weekly |These narratives provide helpful insight into daily life in the GDR—a state that highly valued conformity—as lived by a minority rarely acknowledged.| —Library Journal |... vividly portray the men's trials, tragedies, and triumphs... these memoirs are engagingly provocative.... will serve as a treasure house for future historians, sociologists, and other researchers.| —Lambda Book Report |Not just gay men, but anyone with a little humanity will find it rewarding to spend a few hours listening to these men.| —Hungry Mind Review |... a rare, intensive glimpse into another community and another culture.| —A Different Light Review |The 14 compelling interviews... chronicle gay male experience prior to the dramatic events of the last two years.|Â —On the Issues Jürgen Lemke's collection of interviews with East German homosexual men caused a sensation in the East, where it was hailed as |a milestone in the history of homosexual men in the GDR.| The book presents sustained portraits of fourteen men from different generations and classes, |in the closet| and out. Together they provide a penetrating view into the lives of gay men in Germany from the time of Hitler until the final year of the separate socialist state.
