Brilliant Book Titles #52

Stumbled across this book years ago, devoured it (more than once) and it landed across my desk today. Recommended.

Blurb:
Josh Kilmer-Purcell lived a double life. By day, he was a successful young advertising executive. By night, he would trade in his corporate uniform for high heels and sequins, and perform in downtown New York nightclubs as a drag queen called Acquadisiac 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 glittering and highly dramatic world of nightclubs, drugs and 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 stunningly witty and ultimately deeply moving tour de force by a remarkable new talent.

  1. A good one! Given that a lot of autobiographies and memoirs are not actually written by the ‘author’,maybe this is the most apt ‘brilliant book title’ of all.
