Lily Hu is seventeen, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, and has been carefully not-thinking about certain feelings until Kathleen Miller takes her to the Telegraph Club — a lesbian bar in North Beach, a few blocks from Chinatown — and suddenly everything she hadn't been thinking about becomes impossible to ignore. Lo spent three years researching this novel and it shows in every detail: the Red Scare paranoia that threatens Lily's father's citizenship, the police bar raids that made queer life in 1950s San Francisco precarious and exhilarating in equal measure, the specific experience of being the only Asian woman at the Telegraph Club and being tokenized by white queer women who treat her difference as exotic rather than intersectional. The novel refuses to let queerness and race sit separately — Lily navigates both simultaneously, and the risks she takes are doubled: she could lose her family, her community, and the citizenship her father fought for. Winner of the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, the Stonewall Book Award, and the Asian\/Pacific American Award for Literature. The queer history shelf now has its beginning — And the Band Played On documents the 1980s catastrophe, The Deviant's War documents the 1950s-70s persecution, and this novel shows what it felt like to be alive and queer in 1954, before any of those later fights had been won.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Punk and Pedagogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45981576167622,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9066\/8742\/files\/last-night-at-the-telegraph-club.webp?v=1782415355","url":"https:\/\/punkandpedagogy.com\/products\/last-night-at-the-telegraph-club","provider":"Punk and Pedagogy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
