Joseph Cassara – The House of Impossible Beauties
Joseph Cassara’s début novel The House of Impossible Beauties is a gritty and glittering novel which tells the stories of a cast of transgender and gay characters navigating New York’s Harlem ball scene of the 1980s-90s. The novel is inspired by the real House of Xtravaganza, made famous by the Jennie Livingston’s documentary Paris Is Burning.
