Drag Queen is a comic queer novel from Robert Rodi, author of Fag Hag and Closet Case. The story follows Mitchell Sayer, a successful gay attorney whose orderly life is disrupted when he discovers he has an identical twin: Donald Sweet, better known as Kitten Kaboodle, a flamboyant Chicago drag performer.

The novel plays with mistaken identity, gender performance, gay archetypes and family secrets, mixing camp satire with a fast-moving comedy of manners. It will suit readers interested in 1990s queer fiction, drag culture, LGBTQ+ humour and sharp social comedy.
