‘Some people say we’re monsters. Others think that we’re the most beautiful things in the world. We are centaurs, unicorns, chimeras with the heads of women. It’s true that we’re the prettiest monsters in the world.’

A former 1980s drag queen from New York and a young gangster and future drag queen
from Los Angeles cross paths.
It is 2015 and a waiter serves a customer in a New York bar. One is a 59-year-old African American with a painful past and the other is a young Latino who has decided to start over in life. They seemingly have nothing in common, but they come to recognise... It is 2015 and a waiter serves a customer in a New York bar. One is a 59-year-old African American with a painful past and the other is a young Latino who has decided to start over in life. They seemingly have nothing in common, but they come to recognise themselves in each other. For many years, James was one of the most beautiful creatures in the world, and that is what Victor would like to become.

A novel which spans three decades and takes in Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta, exploring with great subtlety and imagination drag culture, the art of voguing and gender identity questions. With puritanism on the rise again in contemporary society, this colourful novel presents a much-needed alternative perspective.
