James St. James: Freak Show

The scamps over at World of Wonder recently featured an interview with club legend/author/culture critic/former Ketamine repository James St. James, whose new semi-autobiographical teen novel Freak Show hits shelves next month.

I've always been taken by James's wit and charm (his book Disco Bloodbath, upon which the Party Monster movies were based, is absolutely brilliant) and it's always nice to see him going on about this and that, especially when he has had what appears to be a few mimosas.

In the interview, James discusses the book (which is about a future drag legend growing up in a conservative American town, of course), how he was approached to do it by the publisher, and the leaps and bounds that he feels are being made when it comes to the acceptance of gay youth in our culture today. I seriously would love to agree with him.
