Summary: scholarly work on drag in reverse
Comment: This anthology is a collection of academic work about a relatively undercovered and underappreciated topic: drag kings. This book continues the recent trend in studying female masculinities, especially lesbian masculinities.

I applaud the editors for being so diverse and inclusive. First, there is a black drag king on the cover. Too often, readers assume that if a black person is on the cover, then it's "just" a black book. Here, the editors proudly show a black king not fearing being pigeon-holed. In fact, there is much racial diversity here, including a work on whiteness and drag kings. Further, drag king lovers are included. I especially enjoyed the poem "A Voice from the Audience" by king fan Ann Tweedy. This book even has an entry from a male-born contributor.

My only warning is that this book is HIGHLY academic. Less experienced readers may be disappointed. However, professors and students or women's and gay studies will love it. Do peep this work if you can.
