“Last Call Chicago is a treasure trove of LGBTQ historical insight! Rick Karlin and St Sukie de la Croix have undertaken a comprehensive exploration of Chicago’s colorful gay past, revealing more than a thousand of the safe havens and communal spaces that allowed us to evolve into the diverse and vibrant community that we have become and presented it in a concise and well-executed tome. Their passion and enthusiasm for our queer journey is manifest in every entry. If only we had such far-reaching insight into all of our refuges.
— Art Smith, GayBarchives.com
“Last Call Chicago restores to life the vast world of bars that have been so vital to the queer community. It will release for readers a flood of memories and it provides future researchers a wealth of information.
—John D’Emilio, author of Memories of a Gay Catholic Boyhood: Coming of Age in the Sixties
