Actor Alan Cumming's memoir of dealing with the trauma of his father's abuse, a series of episodes bookended by two marriages--the ending of his first to his wife, and the start of his second to his husband--his unique and wonderful career onstage and onscreen and all the times that Hollywood has, since his nervous breakdown at the age of twenty-eight, swooped into his life to whisk him away from all sorts of calamity or moments of personal destruction. Populated by marquee names (Liza! Faye Dunaway! Gore Vidal! X-Men! Kubrick! The Spice Girls!) and moments of hilarity, heartbreak, bad decisions, bold moves, but always authenticity.
