the gay library — where the un/read books are

About 730 gay books on four bookcases in Queens. The shelves are a timeline of ideas: each author sits at the year of their earliest writing, with all their books kept together. Hover over a spine to see the book, and use the buttons to rearrange or highlight the shelves.

Books are shelved roughly by the year each author's first book in the collection came out, so an author's whole run sits together. Covers come from Open Library and may show a different edition. Buying through the Bookshop.org links supports independent bookstores.
