James and His Giant Reach
On Bradford Shellhammer's extremely colorful blog, Bradford Shellhammer (jeez, why couldn't we have a cool name like that?), he explains why he loves James St James' young-adult novel, Freak Show, so much. In part:
Ten years ago, when I was Billy Bloom’s age, books like this did not exist. Had they, I bet there would have been less pain in my life, and the entire world. Thank God for James St. James. He’s given a generation of freaks, fags, and misfits a tale to call their own. The tale of the outsider seeking acceptance is an old one. But the tale of drag queen seeking it is something new entirely. And the fact that it is age appropriate, unlike much gay fiction, makes it even better. Get one for every teen on your shopping list, whether they’re freaks or just fond of those types of people.
