Love in the Lab
a social biography of same-sex desire in Ireland, 1922 to 1972
Book •
Love in the Lav tells the unexpected stories of Dublin’s men who desired men and the Gardaí who policed them.
It uncovers Ireland’s queer lives of the past.
Averill Earls investigates how same-sex-desiring men lived and loved in a country where their sexuality was illegal and seen as unnatural.
Across seven social biographical chapters, each highlighting individuals at the nexus of these histories, Earls constructs a narrative of experiences through the larger contexts in which they are embedded.
Earls examines the experiences of people such as cabbie James Hand, who was put on trial for gross indecency, to provide a window into the queer working-class subculture of 1930s Dublin.
