Publisher's Synopsis
This is a vibrant history of nightlife in the city that never sleeps; spanning small 1970s discos to downtown drag venues to post-millennium hybrid clubs. Featuring over 30 artists including icons such as Suzanne Bartsche and the vibrant queer scenes of Judy, The Fun illustrates the rich contemporary cultural activity keeping NYC as weird and innovative as decades past. Only recently have major institutions begun to recognise the artistic weight nightlife culture carries and using essays from a number of art experts; The Fun establishes a new artistic genre.
