Moving through their homes and haunts, it explores the deep connections between where they lived, who they were and the iconoclastic art and literature they created.</p><p>In search of a new history of queer culture, Diarmuid Hester travels from Cambridges ancient cloisters to the smoky clubs of Jazz Age Paris, through the bunkers of Nazi-occupied Jersey to the newly-liberated gaybourhoods of New York and beyond. Authoritative and not a little irreverent, Hester brings to life the bars and basements, homes and studios, cities and landscapes that shaped the sexual identities of such extraordinary figures as E. M. Forster, Josephine Baker, James Baldwin and Derek Jarman.</p><p>A provocative argument for the centrality of space to any consideration of queer history, culture and politics, the book also attests to all that is lost when queer spaces are forgotten. <em>Nothing Ever Just Disappears</em> is the first trade book from an astonishing writer and thinker.</p><p><em>Featuring Derek Jarman, E. M. Forster, Londons queer suffragettes, Josephine Baker, Claude Cahun, James Baldwin, Jack Smith and Kevin Killian.</em></p>...(*_*)9780141998077_<p><strong>With originality and subtlety, Diarmuid Hester examines how the gay imagination deals with place and with displacement, allowing for mystery and a kind of magic <em>Colm Toibin</em></strong></p><p><strong>Hester is a fizzingly brilliant writer <em>Robert Macfarlane</em></strong></p><p><strong>Haunted and haunting - totally riveting <em>Chris Kraus</em></strong></p><p>At the turn of the century, in the shade of Cambridges cloisters, a young E.
