The book is a child of its time (1926), which is quite obvious in the use of the word 'queer' in its original meaning, different, odd, which is a lot closer to its German relative 'quer' - not easily translatable, but best explained as part of a composite 'Querschnitt', cross section, quer + Schnitt (cut). The history of the word 'queer' to its colloquial modern meaning is rather interesting!
