Things we didn't lose in the fire

It's a wonder that Craig Olsen's book PS Burn This Letter even exists, given that the cache of correspondence written by 1950s New York drag queens on which it's founded would have constituted incriminating evidence at the time. That it does is thanks to Olsen's friend Ed Limato, who ignored the instruction to destroy the letters, and left us with a rare insight into a period when being able to pass as a woman was not merely a matter of pride but a matter of survival.
