HARRIET TUBMAN

Bob the Drag Queen

Live in Concert: A Novel

From Rupaul's Drag Race All Star and host of HBO's WE'RE HERE comes an inventive, wondrous novel about American hero Harriet Tubman that remixes history into a fresh, dynamic novel about love, freedom, salvation and music.
In an "age of miracles" where our greatest heroes from history have magically, unexplainably returned to shake us out of our confusion and hate, Harriet Tubman is back, and she has a lot to say. Harriet Tubman, and four of the enslaved persons she led to freedom want to tell their story in a unique way by following in the footsteps of Lin Manuel Miranda's HAMILTON. Harriet wants to put on a show about her life, and she needs a songwriter to help her. She calls upon Darnell Williams, a once successful hip-hop producer who was topping the charts before being outed by a rival at the BET Awards. Darnell has no idea what to expect when he steps into the studio with Harriet, only that they have one week to write a Broadway caliber musical she can take on the road. Over the course of their week they not only mount a show that will take the country by storm, but confront the horrors of both their pasts, and learn to find a way to a better future. Original, evocative, and historic, HARRIET TUBMAN: LIVE IN CONCERT is a novel unlike any other, and a story that will burrow deep into our hearts (and ears). A landmark achievement. Bob the Drag Queen is a podcaster, television host, actor, activist, and the season eight winner of Rupaul's Drag Race.
