Description
A heart-breaking and hilarious memoir about the author’s fight to be true to themself
WINNER OF THE POLARI FIRST BOOK PRIZE 2020
WINNER OF A SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARD
Amrou knew they were gay when, aged ten, they first laid eyes on Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. It was love at first sight.
Amrou’s parents weren’t so happy…
From that moment on, Amrou began searching in all the wrong places for ways to make their divided self whole again.
Life as a Unicorn is a hilarious yet devastating story of a search for belonging, following the painful and surprising process of transforming from a god-fearing Muslim boy to a queer drag queen, strutting the stage in seven-inch heels and saying the things nobody else dares to ….
Ce que les critiques en disent
"This book is as rare, fabulous and beautiful as the creature it is named for. A masterpiece of psychology, a major study of Islam and a definitive study of drag, it made me cry, it made me rage and it made me hoot. Full of anger, insight and philosophy, along with some cracking great gags, this is a magnificent and essential document of the 21st century. It moved my heart and soul." (Russell T Davies)
"A heartbreaking, healing book. it will make you better." (Simon Amstell)
"Astonishingly brave and engaging, Unicorn shows us a side of life seldom explored." (Joanna Lumley)

Humour, culture, science, family…amazing
I found this on a suggested reading list and I’m so thankful. What a heartbreaking but beautiful and joyous story! My take away from this is the power of representation and inclusion and how important it is to help a person from self destructive behaviours. Religion and society are ruined by the patriarchy when it could be so much more beautiful and safe. Definitely recommend this book!
