Description
Diarmuid Hester's new book, Nothing Ever Just Disappears, brings to life the stories of seven remarkable figures from the 20th century, whose lives were shaped by their places and passions.
The book explores how queer imagination deals with displacement, creating a sense of mystery and magic. From the lesbian London of the suffragettes to James Baldwin's home in Provence, Hester reveals the connections between where these individuals lived, who they loved, and the art they created.
By shedding light on the hidden places of their lives, Hester shows how a queer sense of place is central to the history of the 20th century. This is a thrilling new history that celebrates freedom, survival, and the power of the human imagination.
