From the MARC: "Viral sensation and Emmy Award-winner Leslie Jordan regales fans with entertaining stories about the odd, funny, and unforgettable events in his life in this unmissable essay collection that echoes his droll, irreverent voice. A Southern Baptist celebutante, first-rate raconteur, Emmy Award-winner, and keen observer of the odd side of life, Jordan had no idea how much his life would change when he "went viral." Here Jordan tells stories that make us laugh and lift our spirits even in the darkest days. Whether he is writing about his brush with a group of ruffians in a West Hollywood Starbucks, or an unexpected phone call from legendary Hollywood Debbie Reynolds, each story reflects his fresh and saucy humor and pure heart."
This was a very enjoyable read. Before Leslie Jordan became the darling of IG during the pandemic, I just thought of him as that guy that's in everything, but these essays made him real to me in a way most celebrity biographies do not. Frank and honest about both his sexuality and his recovery, Jordan is unflinching as he tells his stories in his distinct voice.
