Quiet Fire: Memoirs of Older Gay Men is a collection of seventeen in-depth interviews with older gay men, recording their experiences before Stonewall and before the wider gay liberation movement. The book brings together personal histories of love, work, friendship, survival, ageing, identity and community, offering a valuable record of gay lives often left out of mainstream history.

Originally published as part of The Crossing Press Gay Series, this book is especially suited to readers interested in queer history, oral history, gay memoir, ageing, LGBTQ+ studies and social history.
