Background and synopsisQueer City follows the history and experiences of the LGBT population of London beginning with Roman Londinium and exploring the "endless loop of alternating permissiveness and censure" that followed. Queer City explores the "diversity, thrills and energy" of the "hidden city" and concludes that "In a city of superlatives, it is perhaps this endless sexual fluidity and resilience that epitomise the real triumph of London." ReceptionSimon Callow, wrote in The Guardian (which judged Queer City as Book of the Day) that "It was inevitable that London’s great chronicler, who happens himself to be queer, would give us the lowdown on homosex in the city. His book is predictably droll, provocative and crammed to bursting with startling facts and improbable names."[1]In the New Statesman Philip Hoare described the book as "both a commemoration and a celebration of “the ultimate triumph of London” and its diversity" and praised Ackroyd for creating "a triumphantly queer picture of a city he loves."[2] Mark Sanderson, writing for the London Evening Standard described Queer City as a "colourful toilet book" which "tells a torrid tale of persecution and pleasure, of blackmail and blue murder."[3] References1. ^{{cite news |last=Callow |first=Simon |date=31 May 2017 |title=Queer City by Peter Ackroyd review – a celebration of gay London |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/may/31/queer-city-gay-london-from-the-romans-to-the-present-day-by-peter-ackroyd-review |work=The Guardian |location=London |access-date=29 October 2017}} 2. ^{{cite news |last=Hoare |first=Philip |date=2 July 2017 |title=Queer City reveals a long tradition of gender-fluid Londoners|url=https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2017/07/queer-city-reveals-long-tradition-gender-fluid-londoners |work=New Statesman |location=London |access-date=29 October 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news |last=Sanderson |first=Mark |date=1 June 2017 |title=Queer City by Peter Ackroyd - review|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/books/queer-city-by-peter-ackroyd-review-a3554566.html |work=London Evening Standard |location=London |access-date=29 October 2017}} 6 : 2017 non-fiction books|2010s LGBT literature|Books about London|Books by Peter Ackroyd|History books about London|Books about LGBT history |
