I Am Not Myself These Days

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, and perform in downtown New York nightclubs as a drag queen called Acquadisiac before returning to the uptown penthouse he shared with his crack-addicted male escort boyfriend.

In this powerfully written, emotional rollercoaster of a memoir, Kilmer-Purcell blends the glittering and highly dramatic world of nightclubs, drugs and drag with a soulful and ironic perspective on his own journey through love and life.

Told with a raw and honest voice that conveys hard truths with unflinching courage, "I Am Not Myself These Days" is a stunningly witty and ultimately deeply moving tour de force by a remarkable new talent.
