In doing so, \u003ci\u003eDrag Race\u003c\/i\u003e became not only a repository of queer history and culture, but also an examination and illustration of queer life in the modern age. It is a snapshot of how LGBTQ folks live, struggle, work, and reach out to one another-and how they always have-and every bit of it is tied directly to \u003ci\u003eDrag Race\u003c\/i\u003e. Each chapter is an examination of a specific aspect of the show-the Werk Room, the Library, the Pit Crew, the runway, the Untucked lounge, the Snatch Game-that ties to a specific aspect of queer cultural history and\/or the work of certain legendary figures in queer cultural history.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49328043950384,"sku":"BDdn6v","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dn6v-Square-cover.jpg?v=1779304384","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dn6v","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
