A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

For three decades, St Sukie de la Croix, 70, has been a social commentator and researcher on Chicago's LGBT history. He has published oral-history interviews; lectured; conducted historical tours; documented LGBT life through columns, photographs, humor features, and fiction; and written the book Chicago Whispers (University of Wisconsin Press, 2012) on local LGBT history. St Sukie de la Croix, the man the Chicago Sun-Times described as "the gay Studs Terkel," came to Chicago from his native Bath, England, in 1991. He has had columns in local publications or online news and entertainment sources such as Chicago Free Press, Gay Chicago, Nightlines/Nightspots, Outlines, Blacklines, Windy City Times, and GoPride.com, as well as numerous others outside the city. In 2008 he was a historical consultant and an on-screen interviewee for the WTTW television documentary Out & Proud in Chicago. In 2005 and 2006, he had two of his plays, A White Light in God's Choir and Two Weeks in a Bus Station with an Iguana, performed by Chicago's Irreverence Dance & Theatre Company. A popular and engaging lecturer, he has spoken at various venues from Chubb Insurance to Boeing and from Horizons Gay Youth Services to the Chicago Area Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. His crowning achievement came in 2012 when the University of Wisconsin published his in-depth, vibrant record of LGBT Chicagoans, Chicago Whispers: A History of LGBT Chicago Before Stonewall. With a foreword by noted historian John D'Emilio, the book received glowing reviews and cemented de la Croix's deserved position as a top-ranking historian and leader. In 2012 de la Croix was inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame. Two years later, he moved to Palm Springs, California, and in 2017 published The Blue Spong and the Flight from Mediocrity, a novel set in 1924 Chicago, followed by The Orange Spong and Storytelling at the Vamp Art Café in 2020. In 2018 he published The Memoir of a Groucho Marxist, a work about growing up Gay in Great Britain, and in 2019, Out of the Underground: Homosexuals, the Radical Press and the Rise and Fall of the Gay Liberation Front. Also, in 2019 he published St Sukie's Strange Garden of Woodland Creatures with celebrated illustrator Roy Alton Wald. In 2019, St Sukie de la Croix and Owen Keehnen launched their Tell Me About It Project, which led to the 2019 publication of Tell Me About It, Tell Me About It 2, and in 2020, Tell Me About It 3. In 2020, St Sukie published The Orange Spong and Storytelling at the Vamp-Arts Café, the second book in the popular Spong Series. St Sukie continued his LGBTQ Chicago history series in 2021 with the publication of Chicago After Stonewall: A History of LGBTQ Chicago from Gay Lib to Gay Life, picking up the narrative of the Chicago LGBTQ rights movement from where his first history book, Chicago Whispers, left off. It follows the movement from the day after the Stonewall Riots in New York through to the formation of the Chicago Gay Liberation Front to the publication of Chicago's first regular gay newspaper, Gay Life. In 2021, St Sukie, published Twilight Manors in Palm Springs God's Waiting Room, a hilarious comic novel. His latest books are, Last Call Chicago: A History of 1001 LGBTQ-Friendly Taverns, Haunts & Hangouts, with author Rick Karlin, and Twilight Manors in Palm Springs: The Strange Case of Donna Reed's Missing Wig, book two in the wacky series following the adventures of Brian and Stéphane as they continue to bring madness and mayhem to Palm Springs.
