Drag: The Complete Story (a Look at the History and Culture of Drag) by Simon Doonan

4.0

From Caligula to Julian Eltinge to RuPaul, (and so many many more), this history of Drag was absolutely fantastic. Filled with so many great photos, quotes, and with much wit and humor, this is a historical and cultural book of the history of drag that should be on every coffee table, everywhere. Drag has evolved so much over the years. I never realized there were so many different themes, so many talented and unique performers with such varied pasts, and lives. It was a fascinating peek into a lifestyle and a world of individuality, uniqueness, glamour, glitz, humor and amazing personalities. At the end of this book, is a list of biographies of many of the drag queens/kings and more books about the history of drag, and I hope I can find them all.
A Must read.
