So actually, I think it’s a very good time to read about queer nightlife. At the moment it’s been made impossible, it’s never been clearer that real-life gay sociality is important. Many more have surrendered to the mundane comforts of takeaways, streaming platforms, and subscription services: I myself have been wearing the same grey hoodie-and-trackies combo for the past six months, feeling ever further removed from the possibility of glamour. With real-life sociality restricted, many of us have retreated ever further into the internet, where the “queer community” (something which, to my mind, does not exist as a coherent entity and least of all online) descends into rancorous and sanctimonious debates, of an intensity which is only really possible when you can’t see the person you’re shouting at. On the other, being immersed in a world that was already endangered – and risks being lost entirely – could well prove a painful experience. On the one hand, reading about all the fun we’re not having is a tempting form of nostalgic escapism. We’re now almost a year into a situation where bars and clubs are banned, which is either an unfortunate or brilliant time to publish a book about nightlife.
