Reviews for Drag Queens at the 801 Cabaret
The book will certainly find a general audience, and I imagine the queens of the 801 Cabaret themselves will find it to be fabulous bedtime reading. . . . [The book] will stand as a testament to the rich and imaginative texture of queer lives in the twenty-first century.
