  • Baggage : tales from a fully packed life

    Creator

    Cumming, Alan

    Abstract

    "An intimate look at the making of a man, an actor, an advocate-and most importantly-a happy human being. A wonderful book that is funny, honest, fearless, and generous in its vulnerability." - Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain. There is absolutely no logical reason why I am here. The life trajectory my nationality and class and circumstances portended for me was not even remotely close to the one I now navigate. But logic is a science and living is an art.
