Love in the Lav: A Social Biography of Same-Sex Desire in Ireland, 1922-1972

Love in the Lav uncovers Ireland's queer lives of the past. Averill Earls investigates how same-sex-desiring men lived and loved in a country where their sexuality was illegal and seen as unnatural. Across seven social biographical chapters, each highlighting individuals at the nexus of these histories, Earls constructs a narrative of experiences through the larger contexts in which they are embedded.
