Long Live Queer Nightlife is the review of the week! “Like the best pop-up parties, the book conveys the evanescent qualities of queer joy. In what could have been a dour litany of lament and loss, Ghaziani finds creativity, humor, and perseverance.”#sociology www.choice360.org/choice-pick/...

Find the courage to be disliked. That was my advice to Jonathan Van Ness when they invited me on the Getting Curious podcast to talk about my book, Long Live Queer Nightlife. A year later, celebrating their book, JVN still remembers it. @princetonupress.bsky.social @arts.ubc.ca @asanews.bsky.social
