"I love this book's honesty and originality; the intricacy and intimacy with which it studies the politics of love and desire; its huge brain and dirty, beautiful heart."

"Jeremy Atherton Lin artfully combines easily forgotten social history with vivid, intimate accounts of his own love life to show us how, for queer people, the often-impersonal political grandstanding around marriage equality, and liberation more generally, can intrude upon and shape the most personal corners of gay life. In writing that is both lyrical and informative, this book also manages to be bold and sexy."

"Deep House is that rare and beautiful book--equally illuminating and pleasurable. I loved its luminous transcription of queer life, its incisive and intimate legal history of gay marriage in the U.S., its transcendently sexy and propulsive love story, and its portrait of social change that promises not the fantasy of permanent liberty, but that more ephemeral reward: joy. It is exactly the book we need right now."--Melissa Febos, author of The Dry Season and Girlhood, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism

"Lin shrewdly braids the history of gay marriage into an account of his relationship with his husband in this gorgeous follow-up to Gay Bar...Stylish, sexy, and deeply moving, this blends beautiful prose and incisive social history to stunning effect."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Deep House is more than a historic archive or a love-obsessed confession. It's not even an argument for marriage--gay or otherwise. Instead, Deep House is an argument for love unbridled by restraints."--The Brooklyn Rail

"Deep House is an enduring reminder to readers and to writers of memoir alike that our lives are best understood within the context of society and history...a masterclass in the ease with which the writer can blend the contextual and the personal. Perhaps more importantly, Deep House is a vivid example of quiet tenderness. It is, indeed, a love letter that details more than a decade's worth of life from first date to marriage. But Mr. Lin never effuses, never shouts. Love is in the quiet details."
