Uncle of the Year: & Other Debatable Triumphs | Copy Link : goo-totheregister.blogspot.com/?open=B0BB3GRVMV | From the star of The Book of Mormon and Girls, candid, hilarious essays on anxiety, ambition, and the uncertain path to adulthood that ask: How will we know when we get there? With the unsparing eye of David Sedaris and the social wisdom of Nora Ephron, Andrew Rannells tackles the most foundational questions of growing up. 8221 8212 Lena DunhamIn Uncle of the Year, Andrew Rannells wonders: If he, now in his forties, has everything he 8217 s supposed to need to be an adult 8212 a career, property, a well-tailored suit 8212 why does he still feel like an anxious twenty-year-old climbing his way toward solid ground? Is it because he hasn 8217 t won a Tony, or found a husband, or had a child? And what if he doesn 8217 t want those things? (A husband and a child, that is. He wants a Tony.)In deeply personal essays drawn from his life, as well as his career on Broadway and in Hollywood, Rannells argues that we all pretend we are constantly succeeding 8212 for friends, partners, parents, and others 8212 that we are constantly succeeding in the process known as adulting. 8221 But if this acting is leaving us unfulfilled, then we need new markers of time, new milestones, new expectations of what adulthood is and can be.Along the way, Rannells navigates dating, aging, mental health, bad jobs, and much more. In his essay Uncle of the Year, 8221 he explores the role that children play in his life, as a man who never thought having kids was necessary or even possible 8212 until his siblings have kids and he falls in love with a man with two of his own. In Always Sit Next to Mark Ruffalo, 8221 he reveals the thrills and absurdities of the awards circuit, and the desire to be recognized for one 8217 s work. And in Horses, Not Zebras, 8221 he shares the piece of wisdom that helped him finally come to terms with his anxiety and perfectionism.Filled with honest insights and a sharp wit, Uncle of the Year challenges us to take a long look at who we 8217 re pretending to be, who we know we  are, and who we want to become.
