In the past decade, drag has become a place where edgy, competitive showoffs can find security in a callous and over priced city, a shot at real money, and a level of recognition queer people rarely achieve. But can drag keep its edge as it travels from the backroom to the main stage?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA “joyful and scrappy” (\u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e) portrait of the 21st-century search for celebrity and community, \u003ci\u003eHow You Get Famous\u003c\/i\u003e is “dripping in plush detail and drama” (\u003ci\u003eMother Jones\u003c\/i\u003e) and “stitched together with great respect and love” (\u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e). It’s the story of an aimless coat check worker who sweet-talked his way into hosting a drag show at a Brooklyn dive bar, a pair of teenagers sneaking into clubs and pocketing tips to help support their families, and eclectic performers who have managed to land a spot on TV and millions of followers…all colliding in an unprecedented account of a subculture on the brink of becoming a cultural phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“If you like to have a good time, you want to read this book!”—\u003ci\u003eBuzzFeed\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43519934234879,"sku":"9781982115807","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_eadf4adb-0cbc-4955-a122-5d423d5ffd24.jpg?v=1712130264","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781982115807","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
