Drag King Dreams’ is an emotional, significant look at minority issues
Last semester, Towson University was lucky enough to have transgender activist and writer Leslie Feinberg speak on campus. The speech, like Feinberg’s books, dealt with social issues from lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights to the war in Iraq. At the time, I had a copy of “Stone Butch Blues” (but hadn’t read it yet) and didn’t know much about Feinberg.
I have since read “Blues,” but most recently the novel “Drag King Dreams.” The writing in both of these books is just as powerful and empowering as Feinberg’s speech, and can be taken as something to get passionate about.
