A book about the teachable moments from RuPaul’s Drag Race has beaten titles about naked Canadians and a book of essays about clowns to win the Bookseller/Diagram prize for the oddest book title of the year.

RuPedagogies of Realness: Essays on Teaching and Learning with RuPaul’s Drag Race edited by Lindsay Bryde and Tommy Mayberry won 39% of the public vote for the prize, beating Mary-Ann Shantz’s What Nudism Exposes: An Unconventional History of Postwar Canada, which got 25% of the vote.
