Críticas

"Drag: The Complete Story by Simon Doonan, writer, fashion icon and Creative Ambassador–at–large for Barneys New York, perfectly captures the delightfully drag–filled moment we're currently living in, while offering a glimpse into the long legacy of drag. Over the course of the book, Doonan is able to shine a new light on drag, offering a fresh perspective on an art form that has long gone unrecognized." ― Newsweek

"The coffee-table-worthy tome also examines the misconceptions of drag, and the once-prevalent idea that only cisgender gay men could dress up in women’s clothes and makeup." ― IN Magazine

"With his new book, Drag: The Complete Story, writer and pop culture commentator Simon Doonan took on the monumental task of not only looking back at the long and sometimes complicated history of drag, but also the impact drag has had in pop culture and the LGBTQ community today." ― Buzzfeed

"Simon Doonan’s her-story, charts drag performance from its beginnings to the current RuPaul-fueled renaissance. Doonan catalogs every raucous twist and turn with striking imagery of queens from all eras and cultures ― from 16th-century Italian paintings of Bacchus to photographs of Leigh Bowery, Bianca Del Rio, and Crystal LaBeija." ― New York Magazine’s The Strategist, 41 of the Year’s Most Giftable Coffee-Table Books
