“Drag embodies the queer possibility that exists within each of us—the infinite ways in which gender, good taste, and art can be lived.”
–Sasha Velour
This book is a quilt, piecing together memoir, history, and theory into a living portrait of an artist and an art. Sasha Velour illuminates drag as a unique form of expression with a rich history and a revolutionary spirit.
Each chapter strips off a new layer, removing one tantalizing glove and then another, to reveal all the twists and turns in the life of a queen. As Sasha recalls her own journey, from the women who raised her, to learning the craft of an artist, to success, disaster, and more, she also uncovers the history of queer life around the world that made it all possible.
From shamans to “fairies balls,” empresses to RuPaul’s Drag Race (and beyond), The Big Reveal chronicles and celebrates our shared queer pasts. “If we want to be seen as legendary,” writes Sasha, “we have to weave ourselves into history.”
From an iconoclastic drag queen comes an equally singular, thought-provoking manifesto that brings necessary and sparkling substance to our understanding of drag, queerness, beauty, and liberation!

this was an enjoyable listen - Sasha performs their own words in an engaging, easy to consume manner. a nice reminder of where we've come from, where we could go and not to take anything too seriously.

However, it was impossible. It had me hooked from the very beginning: the history, the anecdotes, the moments of reflection and self awareness, the words of advice, and most importantly: a sense of community was truly present throughout the whole book. This is truly a love letter AND an historical document of drag.
I can’t stress how important it was listening to the story of not only the art form of drag but also the people who enjoyed, celebrated and protected it.
I leave this listening wanting to be a protector myself, specially at times like these…
Thank you, Sasha! Truly, I can’t thank you enough.
