    “Drag embodies the queer possibility that exists within each of us—the infinite ways in which gender, good taste, and art can be lived.”  
    –Sasha Velour 
    This book is a quilt, piecing together memoir, history, and theory into a living portrait of an artist and an art. Sasha Velour illuminates drag as a unique form of expression with a rich history and a revolutionary spirit. 
    Each chapter strips off a new layer, removing one tantalizing glove and then another, to reveal all the twists and turns in the life of a queen. As Sasha recalls her own journey, from the women who raised her, to learning the craft of an artist, to success, disaster, and more, she also uncovers the history of queer life around the world that made it all possible. 
    From shamans to “fairies balls,” empresses to RuPaul’s Drag Race (and beyond), The Big Reveal chronicles and celebrates our shared queer pasts. “If we want to be seen as legendary,” writes Sasha, “we have to weave ourselves into history.” 
    From an iconoclastic drag queen comes an equally singular, thought-provoking manifesto that brings necessary and sparkling substance to our understanding of drag, queerness, beauty, and liberation! 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    No ropes. No second chances. 
    No guarantee of survival. 
    On 27 May 1995, at just 22 years old, James Allen stood on the summit of Mount Everest’s unforgiving North Side, widely regarded as the deadliest route in the world. 
    Climbing unroped and alone, he battled freezing winds and the thin air of the death zone, becoming the youngest Westerner, and the youngest Australian, New Zealander, and Briton, to reach the top. 
    That night, five climbers set out. Two turned back. Three reached the summit. 
    Then came the descent, a brutal fight for survival. Above 8,000 metres, one climber collapsed, and James was thrust into a desperate bid to get them both down alive. 
    Stranded for two nights without a sleeping bag, he battled exhaustion, frostbite, and the crushing grip of altitude, every step a gamble between life and death. 
    Everest: The Descent is a raw, gripping account of triumph and survival at the very edge of human endurance. 
    A true story of courage, risk, and resilience on the roof of the world.

    Marion Motley was recognized as one of the gridiron's most outstanding players when he was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1968. His legacy as one of four Black players to reintegrate pro football in 1946 helped blaze a path for Black athletes in the highest echelons of professional sports. Black players once thrived during the early days of the NFL. Then a "gentleman's agreement" among NFL owners in 1933 kept those players out of the highest level of the sport. That changed in 1946. Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown was putting together the inaugural Cleveland Browns roster and signed Black players Motley and Bill Willis to be a part of it. Years earlier, Brown had coached his high school team against Motley's. They formed a strong partnership first with a Navy team and then in Cleveland, where Motley twice led his league in rushing yards and helped the Browns win five championships. Motley's efforts to play a physically brutal game in the face of societal racism and state-sanctioned Jim Crow laws helped reintegrate American sports. Yet half a century after Motley's enshrinement to the Hall of Fame, the memory of Motley and his accomplishments on and off the field have begun to fade. This book tells Motley's story of adversity, personal tragedy, and triumphs using archival interviews and new interviews with historians, friends, and descendants.
