Wild dances : my queer and curious journey to Eurovision
Adams, William Lee, 1981-2023
Books
From misunderstood queer biracial kid in small-town Georgia to Eurovision Song Contest pundit, this memoir combines race, glitz, glamour, geopolitics, and the power of pop music. As a boy, William Lee Adams spent his days taking care of his quadriplegic brother, wary of his undiagnosed bipolar Vietnamese mother, and steering clear from his openly racist, war veteran father. Too shy and anxious to even speak until he's six years old, it seems unlikely William will ever leave small-town Georgia. Dreaming of getting away, he devotes his time alone in his room to studying maps and reading encyclopedias. Decades later, as a journalist in London, William discovers the Eurovision Song Contest - an annual singing competition known for its extravagant performers and cutthroat politics. William is instantly hooked.
