Goodreads Rating
Discover the outrageous and uproarious world of opera in this cult classic. Follow Diva Mawrdew Czgowchwz as she bursts onto the international scene, only to confront the deadly malice and black magic of her rivals. This entrancing send-up of the opera world is both flamboyant and serious, making it a triumph of art and love.

100 Boyfriends
Brontez Purnell - 2021-02-02
Goodreads Rating
"100 Boyfriends" by Brontez Purnell is a daring and hilarious portrayal of gay dysfunction. With irreverent humor and a sharp eye for the imperfect lives of queer men, Purnell explores self-sabotage, trauma, race, and community in a white supremacist society. From Oakland to Alabama, these slice-of-life tales are a unique and unapologetic look into an unexposed queer underbelly. With a deadpan wit and uncompromising vision, Purnell is a true punk messiah of underground writing, filmmaking, music, and performance art.
