Bob The Drag Queen's Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert
I love Bob the Drag Queen and would have been interested in any novel he wrote, but this is unexpected: it’s set in a world where historical figures have come back to life (this is never really discussed or explained in any way, which I liked), and the narrator is a washed-up record producer who’s called up to make an album with Harriet Tubman and her band of freed slaves to tell her story to a new generation. Apparently the audiobook has some actual songs and a stage show is in the works, and it’s an awesome concept and I bet it will be really cool to see. As a novel, maybe less so—the writing is a little clunky for sure, though there were parts I laughed out loud at—it’s unsurprisingly funny, considering the author. A-/B+.
