The hotly anticipated book from "one of the all-time pop-culture greats" (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams.
Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself.

This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents' volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs "The Artist"; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son. Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn't just capture her improbable evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience—it's all here, in raw, remarkable, and riveting detail.

More than a year before the book's publication, Fox's description of it as "a masterpiece" in a red carpet interview went viral. As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author.]]>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9675233https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9675233Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9675233980EAUDIOBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781797164144/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C1044351https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C1044351Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1044351040BKThe Noble, Tragic Lives of Katherine of Aragon and Juana, Queen of Castileenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780345516046/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C92938https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C92938Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/92938040BKThe True Story of the Infamous Lady Rochfordenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780345485410/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The history books have cast Katherine of Aragon, the first queen of King Henry VIII of England, as the ultimate symbol of the Betrayed Woman, cruelly tossed aside in favor of her husband’s seductive mistress, Anne Boleyn. Katherine’s sister, Juana of Castile, wife of Philip of Burgundy and mother of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, is portrayed as “Juana the Mad,” whose erratic behavior included keeping her beloved late husband’s coffin beside her for years. But historian Julia Fox, whose previous work painted an unprecedented portrait of Jane Boleyn, Anne’s sister, offers deeper insight in this first dual biography of Katherine and Juana, the daughters of Spain’s Ferdinand and Isabella, whose family ties remained strong despite their separation. Looking through the lens of their Spanish origins, Fox reveals these queens as flesh-and-blood women—equipped with character, intelligence, and conviction—who are worthy historical figures in their own right.
When they were young, Juana’s and Katherine’s futures appeared promising. They had secured politically advantageous marriages, but their dreams of love and power quickly dissolved, and the unions for which they’d spent their whole lives preparing were fraught with duplicity and betrayal. Juana, the elder sister, unexpectedly became Spain’s sovereign, but her authority was continually usurped, first by her husband and later by her son. Katherine, a young widow after the death of Prince Arthur of Wales, soon remarried his doting brother Henry and later became a key figure in a drama that altered England’s religious landscape.
Ousted from the positions of power and influence they had been groomed for and separated from their children, Katherine and Juana each turned to their rich and abiding faith and deep personal belief in their family’s dynastic legacy to cope with their enduring hardships. Sister Queens is a gripping tale of love, duty, and sacrifice—a remarkable reflection on the conflict between ambition and loyalty during an age when the greatest sin, it seems, was to have been born a woman.]]>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C621129https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C621129Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/621129980EBOOKThe Noble, Tragic Lives of Katherine of Aragon and Juana, Queen of Castileenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780345532312/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3079583https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3079583Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3079583040DVDenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=&upc=031398315711https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3083104https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3083104Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3083104040BLURAYenghttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3967104https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3967104Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3967104040DVDenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=0191329276020/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=&upc=191329276020https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3844691https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3844691Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3844691040BLURAYenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=0843501043929/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=&upc=843501043929https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3844707https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3844707Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3844707040DVDenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=0843501043912/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=&upc=843501043912https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C4017782https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C4017782Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4017782040VIDEO_ONLINEenghttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3148209https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3148209Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3148209040DVDenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=0883929797271/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=&upc=883929797271https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3344676https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3344676Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3344676040BKHenry VIII, Anne Boleyn and the Marriage That Shook Europeenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063073449/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C52259https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C52259Tue, 31 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/52259040BKOr When I Get Back on My Feet You'll Be Sorryenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780061120619/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3967138https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3967138Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3967138040BLURAYenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=0191329275962/MC.GIF&client=chinookarch&type=xw12&oclc=&upc=191329275962
