Description
Drag King Dreams is a story of crisis and hope in the face of uncertainty. Max Rabinowitz, a butch lesbian bartender, is struggling to find her place in the world as the post-9/11 world seems to be falling apart. When her friend Vickie, a transvestite, is found murdered, Max is shaken to her core.
The community of cross-dressers, drag queens, lesbian and gay men, and "genderqueers" come together to support each other in the face of tragedy, and Max is inspired to tap into the activist spirit she thought had long disappeared. As she navigates her mid-life crisis, Max discovers a newfound sense of hope for her future.
This powerful and thought-provoking novel explores themes of identity, community, and resilience in the face of adversity. With its vivid portrayal of the East Village club scene and its characters, Drag King Dreams is a compelling and moving read.
