Leading Lady: A Memoir of a Most Unusual Boy
by Charles BuschA poignant, deliciously anecdotal account of a talented artist's Oz-like journey in the worlds of Off-Broadway, Broadway, and HollywoodThe Tony Award-nominated writer of The Tale of the Allergist&’s Wife and the long-running hit Off-Broadway play Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, and a Sundance Festival award winner, Charles Busch has created a unique place in the entertainment world as a playwright, LGBT icon, drag actor, director, and cabaret performer, with his extraordinary gift for both connecting with and channeling the leading ladies of show business. In wonderfully readable chapters, by turns comic and moving, Charles writes how ever since his mother's death when he was seven, he has sought out surrogate mothers in his life. In his teens, Charles moved to Park Avenue in Manhattan to live with his Auntie Mame-like Aunt Lil, who encouraged and nourished Charles&’ talents and dreams, and eventually he discovered his gifts for writing plays and performing as a male actress.Busch also shares his colorful and sometimes outlandish interactions with film and theatrical luminaries including the hilarious comedian Joan Rivers (who became a mother figure to Charles after Aunt Lil&’s death), Angela Lansbury (who attended her first Passover seder with Charles), Rosie O&’Donnell, Claudette Colbert, Valerie Harper, Kim Novak, and many others. Full of both humor and heart and featuring rare photos, Leading Lady is for readers of entertainment books as well as anyone who enjoys real-life stories of artists who break the mold, ditch the boundaries, and find their own unique way to sparkle.

Learned
by Carellin BrooksRhodes Scholar and poet Carellin Brooks explores the regimens of academia and the discoveries of her own body through various BDSM sexual practices. In poetry that's breathless, elliptical, and haunting, Learned asks who is the learner, and what is learned, whether in the penultimate scholastic setting or the dungeon.These questions echo through depictions of elite institutional practices at Oxford University and fetish scenes in a dank London pub temporarily given over to the scenes such women enact. Similar, divergent, intertwined, these environmental extremes play as a scrim for Brook's prior experience of family dissolution, abuse, and love affairs.Learned asks us to question the way education is both packaged and received, underscoring the importance of the protagonist's learning at the hands of those who torment her and are tormented in return. Bold, nuanced and triumphant, it reclaims both the subjectivity of educational practice and the female body.
