Baggage

Disappointedly I didn't read this quickly enough and only got to 75% before it digitally returned to the library. I then waited, impatiently, for 4 weeks and raced through the last quarter of the book on one sitting.
I'd read Cumming's previous biography which was mostly about his relationship with his father. This one was a bigger story, the making of the man, the man behind the pansexual sex symbol. And what a story, from the middle of nowhere in Scotland to the bright lights of the Big Apple, on stage and on screen.
Cumming writes with honesty, accepting his youthful mistakes and recognising that they are what makes him. He is an unabashed narrator and draws us into his world. He seems like a genuinely lovely chap and I'm glad he has found his happiness.
