The article talks about gay lives. Thinking about gay lives, past or present, inevitably pulls our attention to the intimate. It evaluates the book by Charles Kaiser's "the Gay Metropolis, 1940-96." The book strives to capture the epic tale of gay New York life over the past five decades. The book has grand historical intentions- to tell the story of a movement and its "amazing victory over adversity"- and Kaiser constructs his Metropolis with serious purpose, decade by decade, with a chapter for each from the forties through the nineties.
