Sex and the "Secret City"

There's already been a lot of buzz about journalist James Kirchick's new book, Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington, which covers the years from FDR's presidency through Clinton's. A tip of the hat to Richard Schaefers and Octavio Roca for independently suggesting it as a candidate for a future BookMen DC reading list. It certainly sounds promising! Here are a profile of Kirchick in the June issue of Washingtonian magazine, an Axios interview, and reviews from the New York Times (largely laudatory) and Washington Post (highly critical).
