Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. An intimate history of LGBTQ+ life over four decades, discovered in a stash of forgotten, handwritten notes.'A fantastic journey through an overlooked archive bursting with humanity and real life on every page.' DAN SNOW'Among the most vivid social histories I've read about contemporary queer life in Britain.'OISAN MCKENNA, author of Evenings and Weekends'In opening the Switchboard archive, and all the vulnerability and thrill contained within its pages, this book manages to capture something of the essence of what it means to be alive.'AMELIA ABRAHAM, author of Queer IntentionsIn a crawlspace at the offices of Switchboard, a queer helpline in operation since 1974, lies dozens of log books kept by volunteers describing the phone calls they had taken: a teenager whose parents had kicked them out of home for dressing as the wrong gender; a lesbian terrified of having her baby taken away from her; a man arrested for chatting up another man in a public toilet; a young person wanting to know how to come out.These logs were traces of tens of thousands of queer lives, a bridge to a past hidden from people like Tash Walker and Adam Zmith in their youth, captured by people who lent an ear to those in need. Walker and Zmith came of age in the time of Section 28, a law which banned councils and schools 'promoting the teaching of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship'. In recovering these logs, they encountered people grappling with feelings, questions and problems both familiar and different, and set out to learn from - and sometimes speak to - those on both sides of the calls.Charged with joy, gossip, sensuality, humour and sometimes fear, and with a potent relevancy to the world today, these stories are brought together in The Log Books. Walker and Zmith capture queer lives in stunning detail, embarking on a journey of both collective history and self-discovery and propelling it into the very foreground of our national history.'One of the most intimate portrayals of LGBTQ+ history as you're going to get . . . moving and informative in equal parts.'
