Hitchins doesn’t shy away from his failures or celebrate his mild successes — he sacrifices them for an audience’s amusement. He roasts his younger self, the effeminate ginger-haired kid with a competitive streak. The ups and downs of being a sperm donor to a lesbian couple. Then the fiery redhead professes his love for actress Shelley Long, declares his hatred of musical theatre, and recounts a summer spent in Provincetown working as a drag queen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNothing is sacred. His first major break-up, how his mother plotted the murder of the family cat, his difficult relationship with his father, becoming an unintentional spokesperson for all redheads, and \u003cdel\u003emandy moore\u003c\/del\u003e many more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBlunt, awkward, emotional, ribald, this anthology of humiliation culminates in a greater understanding of love, work, and family.
