Review

In this madcap, hilarious first novel, playwright and performer Charles Busch brings to the page the plot twists and flamboyant, appealing characters that made his "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" one of the longest-running plays ever Off-Broadway.

Set in downtown NYC, where every supermarket checkout clerk is a performance artist, Whores of Lost Atlantis features the lovable Julian Young. Founder of The Imitation of Life Players, Julian tells the story of his acting troupe's hilarious struggle to assemble a production of Julian's new play in which he performs in drag. The cast of characters includes: Joel, a perfect English gentleman from Indiana; Buster, a voluptuous young alchoholic; Camille, a fiery wig designer; Perry, Julian's best friend with a fondness for plastic surgery and peroxide; Kiko, a wonderfully wicked performance artist; Thirteen, Kiko's evil drag queen sidekick; and Don Caspar, Julian's one-time boss, lover and producer.
