Critics Review

“Vivacious … The reverence for Harriet, ‘America’s first Black superhero,’ makes her feel alive on the page. It’s a knockout.” * Publishers Weekly, starred review *“The first novel from TV host and RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bob the Drag Queen vibes with energy and humor but never wavers in its focus on the resilience and power of Black Americans, ‘made out of something stronger than steel and diamonds combined,’ and the universal passion for liberation.” * Booklist, starred review *“Bob the Drag Queen adds another feather to his cap: The RuPaul’s Drag Race winner/podcast host/stand-up comic is now an author, penning a fun and imaginative blend of history and science fiction. History comes to life, and past and present mix in fresh new ways.” * The Washington Post *“What if Harriet Tubman came back to life…and became a pop star? In Bob the Drag Queen’s debut novel, the historic abolitionist does just that, forming a hip-hop band with four enslaved people whom she freed to create an album and live show, which tells her story in a new way. Bob’s voice helps bridge those generation gaps, educating readers and imagining Tubman’s future with the same humor and effortless shade displayed on The Traitors.” * Bustle *“Yes, it’s true: that Bob the Drag Queen wrote a novel and it is about Harriet Tubman coming back to life and making a hip-hop album. You already know you’re on board, as well you should be: the novel is funny and wild and sharp, about fame and race and creativity and America. Harriet’s is a show not to be missed.” * LitHub *
