With an introduction from RuPaul's Drag Race winner Sasha Velour
Their greatest act of resistance was simply existing In 1950s New
York, a group of drag pioneers found work in a small number of
Lower East Side clubs. They occupied the margins of society,
determined to live authentically, despite the attentions of the
police. These girls were unstoppable, fearless and fabulous, but
their very existence was deemed a criminal threat to society. When
a secret cache of their letters was discovered in 2014, these
individuals were given a voice for the first time. The letters
reveal personal triumphs and tragedies, and a fascinating world
that has rarely been documented. Expertly weaving social, political
and cultural history, Craig Olsen illuminates the lives and loves
of our exceptional LGBTQ+ forebears. P.S. Burn This Letter Please
is the ground-breaking result: a deeply moving encounter with a
generation of survivors, and a necessary account of how modern drag
culture was born.
