With the release of his first memoir, Not My Father's Son, Alan Cumming was lauded for sharing the truth about his childhood trauma. His message in this second memoir is that the past is not something to forget or "get over." In a series of episodes bookended by two marriages, the first to his wife, and the second to his husband, Baggage charts Alan's unique career onstage and onscreen and times that Hollywood has, since his nervous breakdown at the age of twenty-eight, whisked him away from calamity or self-destruction. Alan Cumming reveals himself as entirely human--a happy, flawed, vulnerable, fearless middle-aged man, with a lot of baggage. -- Adapted from publisher's description.
