Book excerpt: "Flamboyant, emotional, would-be star Julian Young can wait no more for his starring vehicle, so he devises one in an epic eight-hour session and sets out to stage it, casting himself as the female lead (in drag, of course) and assembling a supporting cast that includes some of the most unforgettable eccentrics ever to answer a cattle call. Now the real drama begins..." "Will the sinister Kiko steal Julian's play, Whore of Lost Atlantis - or, failing that, will she sabotage his career? Will the hunky Buster ever learn his lines? Will Julian end up falling in love with his stage manager - who happens to be a former gangster's moll and a woman? Will he ever get the hair off his legs? The answers - not to mention the cataclysmic destruction, temples falling, hermaphrodites, evil emperors, and two bitchy courtesans, among other spectacles - can be found only in this gender-bending roman a clef by the author and star of the plays and films Psycho Beach Party and Die Mommie Die."--BOOK JACKET.
