FITZGERALD TOM LEGENDARY CHILDREN

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   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.
