In 1996, Jeremy meets the boy of his dreams, nicknamed \"Famous\"--a mumbling, starry-eyed Brit--just as US Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies same-sex couples federal rights, including immigration. Being together across borders means dropping out, hiding away, and seeking out sanctuary among unlikely allies in a \"city of refuge.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Layering their experiences with those of past outliers, including his parents' interracial romance, Jeremy Atherton Lin explores the many forms of intimacy and questions the mechanisms that legitimize love. Told through personal and historical memory and structured like a mixtape, DEEP HOUSE weaves a chorus of whispered disclosures of undocumented domestic life with the courthouse battles, media spin, and political maneuvers surrounding the most contentious civil rights issue of an era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Atherton Lin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316545791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316545792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jeremy Atherton Lin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45897973301503,"sku":"9780316545792","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3ab3e7b-4b80-457f-a765-33446df07112.jpg?v=1721375195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deep-house-jeremy-atherton-lin-9780316545792","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
