BAGGAGE Tales from a Fully Packed Life

Alan Cumming's infectious warmth, sense of fun, and easy charm permeate this earnest and inspiring memoir. While he does briefly write about his abusive father and his struggles to rebuild his life after his first marriage, the overall tone of the audiobook is hopeful. He shares hilarious anecdotes from the sets of various movies and TV shows, offers a thoughtful reflection on his time starring in CABARET on Broadway, and writes candidly about his various love affairs, bookended by his two marriages. His narration is pure joy--informal and entertaining. After hearing him recount how he was told to repress his Scottish accent as a young actor, it's especially moving to listen to him tell his story in his own voice.
