This guy is one of the most brazen degenerates I\u2019ve ever come across in a work of fiction. Never in my most feverish nightmares could I have imagined they\u2019d make a fish who looked so much like a drag queen. He\u2019s covered in sequins, he\u2019s catty as hell, and you can tell just by reading that he has \u2018the voice.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe need books that teach Florida boys to be men.
