Margot Howard Howard's book is the best drag queen autobiography I know -- hilarious, marvelously detailed, and finally delightfully slippery. Who is this creature, and what about her could we ever be certain of? Ms Howard Howard demonstrates that identity is often found in performance, in the playing out of oneself,in costume and tale-telling and writing oneself LARGE. All aficionados of drag, all connoisseurs of the further reaches of the memoir, and all theorists of identity & truth-telling will love this book.

The authoris a publisher who lives in the heart of the Sunshine Coast. Well-written travel and history of the area, with excellent if unimaginative selection of photographs.
