From the star of The Book of Mormon and Girls, candid, hilarious essayson anxiety, ambition, and the uncertain path to adulthood that ask: How will we know when we get there?

You don’t have to be a Broadway die-hard to find the observations of Andrew Rannells’ amusing and insightful. In the performer’s latest memoir, Uncle of the Year: And Other Debatable Triumphs, he finds himself wondering why, despite his success, he still feels like an anxious twenty-year old.

A gay man who never thought about having kids, Rannells discovers how important children are when he falls in love with a man with two of his own. He writes about dating, aging, mental health, bad jobs, and life’s unexpected detours, peeling away the filter of “adulting” and challenging us to take a long look at who we’re pretending to be—and who we want to become.

“With Uncle of the Year, Andrew Rannells continues his hot streak as one of the wisest, most tender, and funniest writers of our generation. With the unsparing eye of David Sedaris and the social wisdom of Nora Ephron, he tackles the most foundational questions of growing up (and up and up) with a sweetness that also makes you laugh (literally) out loud.”—Lena Dunham, author of Not That Kind of Girl
