Josh Kilmer-Purcell

new book 308 pages

Josh Kilmer-Purcell lived a double life. By day he was a successful young advertising executive. By night, he would trade in his corporate uniform for high heels and sequins, performing in downtown New York nightclubs as a drag queen before returning to the uptown penthouse he shared with his crack-addict male escort boyfriend. In this powerfully written, emotional rollercoaster of a memoir, Kilmer-Purcell blends the sparkly and highly dramatic world of drag with a soulful and ironic perspective on his own journey through love and life.

Told in a raw and honest voice that conveys hard truths with unflinching courage, I Am Not Myself These Days is a brilliant, hilarious and moving tour de force by a remarkable new talent.
