SM

Beautifully illustrated 

Worth a re-read. Started strong but began to drag towards the end (could just be me). Stunned to find a mention of a Malay Singaporean gay man as that is very rare representation. The ending was poignant but sad. Overall a good insight into the triumphs and challenges of queer men living the big city life, as the title goes.

For a book about beauty and the power of design, this was a little dry and painful to read. Also couldn't help noticing, as always, that a majority of the examples and quotes are from men. Yawn...

LOVE the illustrations and learnt a surprising number of hilarious, amusing facts for what I thought would be a simple picture book.

Short stories that sometimes felt a tad too long. My faves are the “The Girl With the Double Eyelids” and “Power and Control”.
