This book certainly has that good gay shit, but I couldn't quite bring myself to get past its politics. While I'm used to a sort of liberal optimism about the motives (if not the actions) of government actors from books of the period, it hits different when it's written in 2020. And going to such great lengths to paint the enemies of the British state—Britain of all countries!—as evil and deluded is particularly uncomfortable in juxtaposition.
