We Both Laughed In Pleasure: The Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan

“”Celebratory, even radical””― The New Yorker “”Monumental””― Hyperallergic We Both Laughed In Pleasure: The Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan narrates the inner life of a gay man moving through the shifting social, political, and medical mores of the second half of the 20th century. Sullivan kept comprehensive journals from age 11 until his AIDS-related death at 39. Sensual, lascivious, challenging, quotidian and poetic, the diaries complicate and disrupt normative trans narratives. Entries from twenty-four diaries reveal Sullivan’s self-articulation and the complexity of a fascinating and courageous figure. 2020 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD WINNER — ASIN: 1643620177 | ISBN13: 9781643620176 | ISBN-13: 978-1643620176
