NOT MY FATHER'S SON

Alan Cumming. NOT MY FATHER'S SON: A MEMOIR. Harper Collins, 2014.

A wonderful memoir, partly because: he's an attractive celebrity on PBS; he's a Scot; he was inspired by being featured on the British version of Who Do You Think You Are?; he gracefully shifts between childhood and present, between painful memories of abuse and resulting adult anxiety; and he has a wicked sense of humour.
