This is an interesting overview of drag, but not really “the complete story” as the subtitle claims. The author speeds through name drops, glosses over topic explanations, and uses many art terms that are not accessible by non-art-scene folks like he wants drag to stay exclusive to that community. Lots of interesting info and photos, and much deeper dives with great  info in the last two chapters. I wish the rest of the book was more like the last two chapters.
