'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.
