Alaska Thunderf**k To Release Memoir Nov. 9

Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 is one of the most powerful and iconic Drag queens in the galaxy - but her captivating story begins as a small-town kid raiding her grandma's closet. My Name's Yours, What's Alaska?: A Memoir (Chronicle Books / $24.95 / November 9, 2021) is her intimate, alluring tell-all book coming this fall.

Told with signature wit and charm, My Name's Yours, What's Alaska? is an unfiltered look at Alaska's life and meteoric rise to fame. From childhood struggles to life lessons learned, the RuPaul's Drag Race All Star shares the challenges, life-changing discoveries, and victories that paved her path to superstardom. Today, she's a hit recording artist; global, in-demand performer; and heads a podcast network.

Of writing the book she says, "People have often asked me, 'Alaska- if you were to ever write a book, what would it be about?' The answer is simple- It would be about me, of course. In this book I plan to tell the T, the whole T, and nothing but the T- so help me Goddess. In telling my life story, from my birth until now, I hope to invite you into my world, to set the record straight, and to inspire the children of the world. Because if a poor skinny queer boy from Erie, Pennsylvania can grow up to be an extra-terrestrial starlet of stage and screen, then truly anus-thing is possible."
