IF AT BIRTH YOU DON'T SUCCEED My Adventures with Disaster and Destiny

Ambitious and hard-working media personality Zach Anner narrates his memoir with the verve and compassion that make his story so compelling. Anner has cerebral palsy--as he says, "the sexiest of the palsies"--and listeners get a glimpse of that world, but what Anner truly offers is a funny and thoughtful exploration of the ways human beings can propel themselves forward or hold themselves back. This is a man who, with a voice full of expression and enthusiasm, frames accidentally soiling himself on the second day of filming a reality show as a hilarious tale of triumph. Anner's sincerity shines throughout the production, and listeners will find themselves laughing out loud, nodding with recognition, and hoping for more of Anner's stories.
