Tanqueray is such a compelling read. The story is short, but so blunt and outlandish that it guaranteed to entertain readers. At the same time, there is a story outside the performance. Stephanie deserved her time was well, and this book makes sure she has her moment.. I'm glad I got to learn about the woman as well as the persona.
My only major complaint is that the story is almost entirely the story presented on Humans of New York. However, it was nice to have it all to read at once. I wish some of the stories had gone more in depth. But telling your own story can be tough, so I won't complain much. I liked the additional photos between the stories. Readers are able to see personal and societal history that way. It was fascinating to see.
