Man Up! Tales of My Delusional Self-Confidence

Former Tonight Show with Jay Leno intern Ross Matthews offers this hilarious account of his rise to success and stardom. With his trademark high-pitched voice and girlish laugh, Matthews is on fire from start to finish in this inspired reading that covers everything from anecdotes about growing up in smalltown U.S.A. to the author’s early days in Hollywood. Matthews’s passion and drive are present in his enthusiastic delivery—which may cause some listeners to turn the volume down a notch. The narrator’s giddiness and excitement about where he’s come from, how he got there, and where he intends to go are contagious. A Grand Central hardcover. (May)
