Wayne Koestenbaum, New York Times Book Review Fire Island, a thin strip of beach off the Long Island coast, has long been a vital space in the queer history of America. Both utopian and exclusionary, healing and destructive, the island is a locus of contradictions, all of which coalesce against a stunning ocean backdrop.

'Supremely engaging and highly informative.' BuzzFeed 'A fascinating, throbbing history.' Olivia Laing.…
