George Carlson’s Reviews > Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington > Status Update

Slowly but surely making my way through this behemoth of a book. I’m hoping to finish it when I leave DC in December. The book is interesting, but I am struggling to get invested. Kirchick is a journalist which is reflected in his writing style. The book is mostly anecdotes with meager historical analysis, so it feels like I’m taking in an overwhelming amount of information.
