Deep Sniff

by Adam Zmith
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Adam Zmith reveals the long history of the quick rush from sniffing poppers.
3, 2, 1... inhale, deep. From the Victorian infirmary and the sex clubs of the 1970s, poppers vapour has released the queer potential inside us all.
This is the intriguing story of how poppers wafted out of the lab and into gay bars, corner shops, bedrooms and porn supercuts. Blending historical research with wry observation, Adam Zmith explores the cultural forces and improbable connections behind the power of poppers. What emerges is not just a history of pub raids, viral panics and pecs the size of dinner plates. It is a collection of fresh and provocative ideas about identity, sex, utopia, capitalism, law, freedom and the bodies that we use to experience the world. 
In Deep Sniff, what starts as a thoughtful enquiry into poppers becomes a manifesto for pleasure.
