Recenzii
“With winning resilience and buoyancy, Cumming revisits a stretch of his young adult life book-ended by two marriages: one straight, one gay…the 56-year-old Cumming remains the irresistible ‘cheeky chappie’ who has survived horrific trauma to become a beloved show-business institution, and perhaps unlikely fount of wisdom.” — New York Times
“Alan Cumming’s Baggage has the right perspective on life—and so will you after reading it…To wit, Baggage is the most delightful after-dinner aperitif—something worth savoring.” — USA Today
"An intimate look at the making of a man, an actor, an advocate—and most importantly—a happy human being. Cumming is a natural raconteur, and this feels like a private conversation between the author and the reader. A wonderful book that is funny, honest, fearless, and generous in its vulnerability." — Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain
"It seems fundamentally unfair that Alan Cumming is, in addition to being a fine actor and a wicked performer, such a hell of a good writer. But he is. He's observant, honest, often trenchantly funny, always emotionally honest. He's an international treasure. — Neil Gaiman
"I could not love this man… or this book more. Alan writes with such unvarnished truth and a humor that can only come from a brilliant mind, rapier wit and resilience from emotionally painful life experiences. This book—like Alan is off the page—is full of insight, compassion, intellect and wisdom. This is the best Baggage to have." — Monica Lewinsky
"Everything that makes Alan Cumming so engaging as a person and a performer—his cleverness, kindness, charm, wildness and, above all, authenticity—shines from every page of this wonderful, witty and wise book." — Nigella Lawson
“Revealing and witty…Engaging and often funny, this surprisingly deep work beguiles with its sharp observations and earnest life lessons.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Thoughtful, candid revelations join with intimate confessions while Cumming’s witty repartee never falters. Regardless of his traumatic past, the memoir lifts the veil on a happier man who has ‘transcended and bloomed.’ With heartfelt anecdotes and an honest perspective, Cumming shares the struggles and joys of a fulfilling life while making peace with the baggage of a troubled past. Cathartic and revelatory, Cumming’s memoir will fascinate fans and those who relate to his internal struggle.” — Kirkus Reviews
