Making Rain: A memoir of drag, big hair and covens
ISBN-13: 9780983056836 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 214 str.
Making Rain is a memoir of drag, raging hairdressers and pagan covens. It is life on the edge of society in a bizarre Staten Island landscape of odd encounters: mob misfits, pagan priestesses and public servants in drag. Fred Gorsky's personal saga combines self-discovery and hedonism in new and unexpecting ways, passing from a youth of teenage cross-dressing to adulthood as a drag performer, businessman and B&D madam, and on to a mature stage of perspective and wisdom. The setting is a dysfunctional seaside community of broken bungalows and seedy bars, Manhattan of drag balls and hustlers and a rambling suburban house with a series of sexual secrets. With a timeline that spans fifty years, the story moves from pre-Stonewall rebelliousness through sexual liberation and the tragedies of the AIDS crisis, to today, making it a part of gay history and at the same time, a worthy addition to the library of personal tales of discovery.
