Reviews of Rupert Everett"s first memoir, "Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins", compared him to Evelyn Waugh, David Niven, Noel Coward, and Lord Byron. But Rupert Everett is - of course - one of a kind. Mischievous, touching, and nothing less than brilliant, this new memoir is filled with brand-new stories, from childhood to the present. Astonishing encounters, tragedy and comedy, vivid portraits of friends and rivals, razor-sharp observations of the celebrity circus from Los Angeles to London and beyond, there is something extraordinary on every page. A pilgrimage to Lourdes with his father is both hilarious and moving. A misguided step into reality TV goes horribly wrong. From New York to Moscow to Berlin to Phnom Penh, this memoir takes the reader on a wild and wonderful new journey with a charming - and rather disreputable - companion.
