Format: Hardcover
What an amazing find this book was! The authors artfully unveil the little-known world of drag clubs in the Fourties - and let me tell you it's NOTHING like the drag world today. Full of artists who sang for themselves (no lip-sync here!) and took their art form very seriously, it really opens up your perspective on what it must have been like to be a gay person in that era. You get both a feel for the times and a perspective that makes you appreciate today.
Told as a series of short biographies of people and places of the day, it is very readable, accessible, and educational at the same time.
I highly recommend this book, and hope the authors are working on a sequel that covers the next era in Seattle's rich history!

I loved this book. The Garden was before my time, but I knew of the other places and had seen one mentioned performer. It ties in so wonderfully with the political situation and other events in Seattle's history and reminds one of how much things have changed. I couldn't put it down until I'd finished. I bought 2 more copies for gifts, and one of my friends who borrowed it, ordered his own copy.

This book is fantastic and very readable. Between the ample pictures and the format of the book (past the introductory chapter) being in 2-6 page interview excerpts from truly interesting people, it is an easy book to either pick up and put down and to chip away at in little spurts, or to become totally engrossed with and tear all the way through. This is a wonderful recording of first hand accounts of one of the first openly gay owned and operated for other gay people drag cabarets in the country.
