I Am Not Myself These Days - Tapa blanda

Josh Kilmer-Purcell lived a double life. By day, he was a successful young advertising executive. But by night, he would trade in his corporate uniform for high heels and sequins, performing in downtown New York nightclubs as a drag queen before returning to the uptown penthouse he shared with his crack-addicted male escort boyfriend. In this powerfully written, emotional rollercoaster of a memoir, Kilmer-Purcell blends the tawdry and highly dramatic world of drag with a soulful and ironic perspective on his own journey through love and life. Told with a raw and honest voice that conveys hard truths with unflinching courage, I Am Not Myself These Days is a brilliant tour de force by a remarkable new talent.

After 'retiring' from drag in 2000, JOSH KILMER-PURCELL refocused on his advertising career, winning numerous awards, and is now a partner in a mid-size creative advertising agency in lower Manhattan. He lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side with his partner of five years.
