Einen großen Teil seiner prosaischen Werke bilden seine Essays ab, hier Teil 13. Dabei stehen Comics und deren Humor im Vordergrund, wobei ein großer Bogen vom Postkartenwitz, gekennzeichnet durch Brüller und Kalauer, welche die Monotonie der staatlich geförderten Lebensart in Form einer anscheinend anständigen Fassade durch den Kakao ziehen, zum etwas tiefsinnigeren Humor von Literaturklassikern geschlagen wird. Gewissermaßen vom Witz des Pöbels zu dem des Bildungsbürgertums, aber nun ja, über Humor lässt sich bekanntlich nicht streiten – oder doch?

Some of us found ourselves in rooms with sticky floors. Dollar drinks. Music loud enough to feel in your sternum. Strangers who became your people before you even knew their names. A world that existed before the apps, before the algorithms, before you had to optimize yourself for someone else's checklist. We are human first. Gay second. And this is a book about the human underneath. Boys Bars Becoming is a collection of essays about gay men of a certain age — who we were in those rooms, who we became outside of them, and who we are still trying to figure out how to be.

"Maelzel's Chess Player" (1836) is an essay by Edgar Allan Poe exposing a fraudulent automaton chess player called The Turk, which had become famous in Europe and the United States and toured widely. The fake automaton was invented by Wolfgang von Kempelen in 1769 and was brought to the U.S. in 1825 by Johann Nepomuk Mälzel after von Kempelen's death. In his essay, Poe asserts that a mechanical chess player would play perfectly, but Maelzel's "machine" occasionally errs, and is therefore suspect. Although it is the most famous essay on the Turk, many of Poe's hypotheses were incorrect.

Darin stellt Orwell fest, dass die zeitgenössische Literatur bis auf einzelne Lichtblicke wie Henry Miller faktisch ohne Bedeutung ist. In einer aufgeheizten gesellschaftlichen Atmosphäre, innerhalb derer national orientierte Politiker „ihren" jeweiligen Völkern eine jeweils großartige Zukunft versprechen und die autoritären Strukturen immer mehr Anhänger begeistern, sind die Voraussetzungen für das mögliche Ende der westlichen zivilisierten Welt natürlich optimal.
