The word connotes an exuberance of thought and expression, and often, unbridled, unashamed passion. Yet historically the term \"flamboyant\" has been reserved for the over-the-top and the outré, invoked at times as a pejorative innuendo or worse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCelebrated author and scholar Jack Parlett digs into the nature of flamboyance to offer a new, empowering reframing of a quality that any of us can and should harness more regularly. From Judy Garland to Lil Nas X, Parlett highlights the stories of flamboyant figures throughout history to show how, by harnessing our own inner flame, we break free from cultural expectations that don't serve us and live a brighter, happier, more audaciously fulfilling life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Parlett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hanover Square Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 5.92w x 1.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781335949325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eParlett, Jack:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Jack Parlett is a writer, poet, and scholar.
