  “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.

  “[Colby] breathes new life into well-trodden WWII tropes, building a vivid, novelistic narrative focused on memory and family.” — Publishers Weekly
  		 
  “The writing is vivid and lyrical, the narratives are arresting, and the women are unforgettable.” — Craig Howes, Director, Center for Biographical Research, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
  		 
  A remarkable story of strength and resilience in the crucible of Nazi Germany
  		 
  Irina Nikifortchuk was 19 years old and a Ukrainian schoolteacher when she was abducted to be a forced laborer in the Leica camera factory in Nazi Germany. Eventually pulled from the camp hospital to work as a domestic in the Leica owners’ household, Irina survived the war and eventually found her way to Canada.
  		 
  Decades later Sasha Colby, Irina’s granddaughter, seeks out her grandmother’s story over a series of summer visits and gradually begins to interweave the as-told-to story with historical research. As she delves deeper into the history of the Leica factory and World War II forced labor, she discovers the parallel story of Elsie Kühn-Leitz, Irina’s rescuer and the factory heiress, later imprisoned and interrogated by the Gestapo on charges of “excessive humanity.”
  		 
  This is creative nonfiction at its best as the mystery of Irina’s life unspools skillfully and arrestingly. Despite the horrors that the story must tell, it is full of life, humor, food, and the joy of ordinary safety in Canada. The Matryoshka Memoirs takes us into a forgotten corner of history, weaving a rich and satisfying tapestry of survival and family ties and asking what we owe those who aid us.

  Philosophical and Theoretical...

  This bundle of books delves into humanity’s deepest questions through three profound fields of philosophy—Teleology, Phenomenology, and Eschatology. This 3-in-1 volume offers a rich and thought-provoking journey through purpose, perception, and the end of existence. 
  In the first section, Teleology, readers explore the concept of purpose in nature, history, and human life. From Aristotle’s final causes to modern interpretations of design and destiny, this section unpacks how philosophers and scientists have interpreted meaning in a seemingly chaotic universe. 
  Phenomenology takes center stage in the second section, inviting readers into the study of lived experience and consciousness. Tracing the work of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, this section reveals how we perceive and interpret the world from a first-person point of view. It’s a dive into perception, intentionality, and the structures of experience. 
  Finally, Eschatology examines the philosophical and theological discourse surrounding the ultimate destiny of humanity and the universe. Whether through religious traditions, secular speculation, or metaphysical inquiry, this section explores endings, finality, and the deep questions of what lies beyond the limits of life and time. 
  Together, these three domains form a comprehensive introduction to advanced philosophical thinking, ideal for students, seekers, and anyone intrigued by the questions that shape our understanding of reality.

  The lessons included in this book are written by an Asiatic for the English-speaking peoples of the world, and suffer from the fact that the mother tongue of the writer is not English nor Sanskrit and that his metaphysic is oriental. Much of the teaching that 1s given here has been given out privately in the Yogic schools of the select, though not in the practical form herein presented. The excuse for the book is the need of arrangement before doubting, enquiring minds prepared to question every argument and assertion; of facts and theories so that they fit in with the composite scheme presented by the Yogi philosophy.
