Jeremy Atherton Lin

Jeremy Atherton Lin is a British-American writer whose book Deep House is a genre-defying work that combines memoir, cultural criticism and the history of nightlife to explore queer identity, belonging and the meaning of home through the lens of house music and club culture. Lin uses the architecture of physical spaces, from clubs and bars to houses and cities, as a framework for examining his own experience as a gay man of mixed heritage navigating identity across different countries and communities. His writing has been compared to that of Maggie Nelson and Wayne Koestenbaum for its intellectual ambition and its ability to weave together personal narrative, cultural analysis and philosophical reflection. Deep House was longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and has been praised for its originality, its intelligence and its beautifully crafted prose. Lin's approach defies conventional genre categories, creating a work that is simultaneously memoir, music criticism, architectural study and meditation on belonging. The audiobook edition brings his innovative, deeply personal writing to listeners who appreciate non-fiction that pushes boundaries and finds unexpected connections between music, space, identity and desire.
