I Am Not Myself These Days: A Memoir by Josh Kilmer-Purcell
3.0
Morning, readers. I read a book recently that was recommended to me by a dear friend A DECADE AGO but I never read. At the time, I was just coming out and exploring queer things, and my friend said I should read this memoir about a New York drag queen.
Well I finally knocked it out! And what’s interesting is considering how differently I would have perceived this book then versus now. Then, I had only ever met one drag queen and I had yet to really explore giving less of a shit about my own gender expression. I had a less well-rounded idea of sex work. And I’d yet to live in Manhattan myself.
I AM NOT MYSELF THESE DAYS is funny and entertaining but also deals with alcoholism and non-traditional professional and romantic relationships. Recommend if you’re in the market for such a memoir! Overall 3/5 stars for me. #caseboundergayrating
