Finally finished this slutty retrospective of writings, interviews, scripts, and images. Shoutout Bruce LaBruce for being the coolest thing to come out of Canada! Shoutout UBC library for lending me this deep cut but also fuck you for charging me $400 for “losing it”! I write this review on the way to your hallowed halls to return it, you greedy beast. Anyways, which one of my devoted Goodreads followers is cool enough to brave a Bruce LaBruce movie night with me? Need to find my people‼️
