"....Eighner returns with a rollicking comic novel of drag courts and political machinations that is sure to surprise and delight his many fans. Deep in the heart of Texas - Austin to be precise - lies the Court of the Jade Chimera, which is presided over by Agnes, a drag queen of formidable bearing. For many years, Agnes has been holding in check the homophobic Brother Earl, a charismatic Oklahoma radio preacher with his own university, with the existence of a set of photos depicting Brother Earl in the midst of some rather "unchristian" activities. Those photos, however, have slipped from Agnes's grasp and Brother Earl is now using his pulpit to call down a jihad upon gays."

| Industry reviews | |
| "Frivolous, but fun." Kirkus Reviews (09/01/1995) "..."Eighner's first novel published by a mainstream house demonstrates how difficult it can be for writers to communicate beyond their own subculture...It's all supposed to be hilariously farcical, but 'Pawn to Queen Four' is more frustrating than funny." Time Out (New York) - P. J. Giles (11/22/1995) "...a deft, enjoyable and wholly disposable comic novel." New York Times Book Review - Adam Mars-Jones (11/26/1995) |
