“In this, Dr Peter Robinson’s third book, is a theoretically informed and empirically rigorous study of the working lives of three age cohorts of gay men. The qualitative interviews are revealing of both personal histories and the nature of work and society from the middle of the last century. They are also enliven the text: this is, indeed a ‘good read’. As well as making An original contribution to the academic literature, Dr Robinson’s work should be a must-read for policy makers, senior administrators and front-line professionals in the aged-care sector.” (Brian Costar, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia)

“This third and final volume of Peter Robinson’s study of three waves of gay men (born between 1922 and 1980) focuses on work and old age, continuing to show how age shapes gay life. Here again we find the hallmark of his books: rich detail alongside shrewd commentary. There is much to be learnt from this landmark work.” (Ken Plummer, University of Essex,UK, and author of Telling Sexual Stories)
