This is not about


being ready,


it’s not even about


being fierce


or fearless,


IT’S ABOUT BEING FREE.




Michael is a mixed-race gay teen growing up in London. All his life, he’s navigated what it means to be Greek-Cypriot and Jamaican—but never quite feeling Greek or Black enough.



A fierce coming-of-age novel about identity and the power of drag, from acclaimed UK poet and performer Dean Atta.
