1. Jeffery Self

Self-Sabotage

"Excellent. . . . Self is a very clever writer . . . and there’s never a dull moment in his captivating, extremely well-written stories that will have readers hoping for more." — Booklist (starred review) "A rollicking adult debut. . . . Self's winning voice shines through. . . . This delightfully over-the-top self-portrait brims with pleasures." — Publishers Weekly "For Jeffery to live a million lives is one thing; for them to range from beautifully sordid to painfully sweet is another. But the best, luckiest thing of all is that he is sharing and affirming all of them with us. As a fellow VGL (very good-looking) gay man, I love this book!" — Bowen Yang "It will come as no surprise to his fans that Jeffery Self has written a very funny book. But Self's account of his own life, from his boyhood as an imperious theater kid to his youth on the make in the big city to his semi-well-adjusted adulthood, holds real insight—on the complexities of artistic collaboration, or the importance of queer chosen family—amid plenty of sex, silliness, and showtunes." — Rumaan Alam, New York Times-bestselling author of Leave the World Behind and Entitlement "Manages to walk the tightrope between hilarity and honesty with consummate skill. The sort of comedy and candor that takes your breath away." — Graham Norton, New York Times-bestselling author of Frankie "Self-Sabotage is divinely funny, boldly honest, and a damn good time. This book is deeply relatable. Every mistake, every lesson learned, every lesson that needs to be relearned and then learned again spoke to me on a cellular level. It's the human condition, rendered here with incredible heart. Jeffery Self is charming as hell and a truly fantastic writer." — Kristen Arnett, New York Times-bestselling author of Mostly Dead Things, With Teeth, and Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One "Jeffery’s reflections on his life and his journey are so funny and so entertaining that it took me a while to realize how moved I was by the stories, as well. It is, in fact, not unlike spending time with him in person: there’s a lightness of touch, a sweetness and charm that so beautifully frames a real depth and understanding of our shared humanity. He is a gift." — Jim Parsons "Here's what I loved about Jeffery's Self's book, Self-Sabotage. (Aside from the fact that his last name created the perfect title.) It manages to be both super funny and super moving. Jeffery hysterically recounts his days as a tyrannical child actor and failed gay cruise ship entertainer while never being anything less than brutally honest about all the things that make him, and all of us, human." — Gary Janetti, New York Times-bestselling author of We Are Experiencing a Slight Delay "Jeffery takes us on a wild—sometimes shocking—and always funny romp through his (insane!) travails in Manhattan’s aboveground and underground universe." — Andy Cohen, New York Times-bestselling author of The Daddy Diaries "Jeffery is both our raucous Auntie Mame and the wounded child in her care, and he gives us a moving portrait of both in this deep exploration of, well, Self. I couldn't put it down." — Steven Rowley, New York Times-bestselling author of The Guncle
