NERI, Valentina. Almanacco Toilet Club.

[Pianello, Italy]: Cesura Publishing, 2018. First edition. Octavo. Unpaginated. Fantastic volume documenting a group of Drag Queens who created a club night that quickly became one of the most important and well known in Milan’s LGBTQIA*+ scene. Inspired by “La Scena Illustrata 1941”, an influential Italian monthly publication, Neri has presented the drag artists in a mix of photographs, descriptions, titles, and illustrations enclosed in a “fascist” layout (inspired by the original magazine’s design) that gives readers and viewers a broader spectrum of interpretation, allowing the development of a different conversation about the community. A very good copy in illustrated wrappers. Published in an edition of 200 numbered copies in this English text variant (there was also 300 copies in Italian). Highly recommended.
