About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster, 1996. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Introduction by John Berendt, illustrated throughout with b/w photographs. Born Benjamin Edward Knox in Quincy, Florida, "The Doll" always knew she was different. At a Tallahassee club, in her teens, she found the drag mother who would set her on the path to stardom. Before long, The Lady Chablis had a headline drag act replete with trademark saucy wit, down-home wisdom, and, of course, breasts. The rest is "Miss Thang" history. The Lady Chablis does an excellent job in detailing her life from birth to present in this spine tingling novel. She describes the gay community to a 't' and is certainly not ashamed of her life. This book is certainly a welcomed addition to any Gay Library. You must Read it to fully appreciate how a lot of the gay community feels, acts, and reacts. 208 pages. Black marker line on top of book, probably a remainder mark. Top of spine bumped. Approx. 50 pages creased on the bottom edge. Dust jacket Top & bottom of spine, 4 outside corners and rear cover top edge bumped. 1/8" closed tear on rear cover top edge..
