I imagine nearly everything there is to be said about Samuel Delany's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue has probably been said. It manages to be a beautiful and also filthy portrayal of a city and a culture in shift. Times Square Red, Times Square Blue is about the decimation of a certain type of queer life, mirrored in the way a city changes. It seamlessly an era of New York City to the type of queer sex that was available, forcing the reader to connect the construct of a city to the people that actually inhabit it.
