Legendary Children: The First Decade of RuPauls Drag Race and the First Century of Queer Life

A definitive deep-dive into queer history and culture with hit reality show RuPaul`s Drag Race as a touchstone, by the creators of the pop culture blog Tom and Lorenzo NPR`s Best Books of the Year 2020 pick A New York Times New & Noteworthy book One of Logo/NewNowNext`s 11 Queer Books We Can`t Wait to Read This Spring From the singular voices behind Tom and Lorenzo comes the ultimate guide to all-things RuPaul`s Drag Race and its influence on modern LGBTQ culture. Legendary Children centers itself around the idea that not only is RuPaul`s Drag Race the queerest show in the history of television, but that RuPaul and company devised a show that serves as an actual museum of queer cultural and social history, drawing on queer traditions and the work of legendary figures going back nearly a century. In doing so, Drag Race became not only a repository of queer history and culture, but also an examination and illustration of queer life in the modern age. It is a snapshot of how LGBTQ folks live, struggle, work, and reach out to one another--and how they always have--and every bit of it is tied directly to Drag Race. Each chapter is an examination of a specific aspect of the show--the Werk Room, the Library, the Pit Crew, the runway, the Untucked lounge, the Snatch Game--that ties to a specific aspect of queer cultural history and/or the work of certain legendary figures in queer cultural history.
