The author is clearly racist and ableist and does little to hide. However a very big theme this memoir is that he is not a good person. It's a very raw retelling of his time moving to New York to perform as a drag queen. The story is heavily centered around an abusive relationship with an escort. The author does NOT sugarcoat the experiences or his own involvement with drug use, club culture, hookup culture, escort culture and the bad things be did in them.

The author had me hooked. I’m not even remotely interested in drag or vices or life in New York in the 90s; i knew nothing about the author, yet he managed to make me care. By the end of it i adored him and his words. Words that are both funny and painful. And the way he described the events in his life was awfully visual, it feels like you’re there, actually spectating at the moment.
Nearing the end he gives this life lesson of his about simply keeping on. Then closes it all by just embracing mundanity, because that’s how it really is.
