Abstract

"Queer Lives across the Wall: Desire and Danger in Divided Berlin, 1945–1970" by Andrea Rottmann explores the presence of queer bodies and experiences in both East and West Germany, focusing on lesbian and trans narratives alongside gay history. Rottmann delves into the spatial aspects of queer life, from homes to bars, public spaces, and prisons, shedding light on the complexities of gendered performances and erotic possibilities. Through a rich array of sources, Rottmann vividly reconstructs the lives of queer and trans individuals, offering a groundbreaking and compelling perspective on gender, sexuality, and class in German history."
