About This Book
Flamboyant, emotional, would-be star Julian Young can wait no more for his starring
vehicle, so he devises one in an epic eight-hour session and sets out to stage it, casting himself as the female lead (in drag, of course) and assembling a supporting cast that includes some of the most unforgettable eccentrics ever to answer a cattle call. Now the real drama begins....
Will the sinister Kiko steal Julian's play, Whores of Lost Atlantis—or, failing that, will she sabotage his career? Will the hunky Buster ever learn his lines? Will Julian end up falling in love with his stage manager—who happens to be a former gangster's moll and a woman? Will he ever get the hair off his legs? The answers—not to mention cataclysmic destruction, temples falling, hermaphrodites, evil emperors, and two bitchy courtesans, among other spectacles—can be found only in this sidesplitting, gender-bending roman à clef by the author of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, the longest-running play in off-Broadway history.
