I got this hardcover at Barnes and Noble. It's a fictional autobiography-in-poem-form in which Michael, a Greek Cypriot/Jamaican gay teen, describes his life from his childhood to his coming out to his discovery of drag - and of his true self. While there are some rough times along the way, the overall tone is triumphant - especially when he gets to lay down the law to the guy who was happy to have sex with him but thinks that appearing in drag is embarrassing. That whole scene is magnificent!
