Michael Montlack: My Diva June 24, 2009

'My Diva' is a collection of witty and poignant short essays that explore reasons for diva-worship. From Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Midler, and Diana Ross to Queen Elizabeth I, Julia Child, and Princess Leia, these divas have been sister, alter ego, fairy godmother, or model for survival to gay men and the closeted boys they once were. Anyone who's ever needed a muse, or found one, will see their own longing mirrored here as well.
