I.M.: A Memoir
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
"Mizrahi speaks passionately...the warmth in both his voice and writing creates a singularly satisfying listening experience." — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner
This program is read by Isaac Mizrahi, whose "warm and wry voice provides an extra incentive to check out this version of his story." —LitHub
"Isaac Mizrahi is a true Renaissance man. He can do it all! He's managed to live several lives in one lifetime." —RuPaul
Isaac Mizrahi is sui generis: designer, cabaret performer, talk-show host, a TV celebrity. Yet ever since he shot to fame in the late 1980s, the private Isaac Mizrahi has remained under wraps. Until now.
In I.M., Isaac Mizrahi offers a poignant, candid, and touching look back on his life so far. Growing up gay in a sheltered Syrian Jewish Orthodox family, Isaac had unique talents that ultimately drew him into fashion and later into celebrity circles that read like a who's who of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: Richard Avedon, Audrey Hepburn, Anna Wintour, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Meryl Streep, and Oprah Winfrey, to name only a few.
In his elegant memoir, Isaac delves into his lifelong battles with weight, insomnia, and depression. He tells what it was like to be an out gay man in a homophobic age and to witness the ravaging effects of the AIDS epidemic. Brimming with intimate details and inimitable wit, Isaac's narrative reveals not just the glamour of his years, but the grit beneath the glitz. Rich with memorable stories from in and out of the spotlight, I.M.illuminates deep emotional truths.
Praise for I.M.:
"I.M. has everything! It's colorful, hysterical, touching, bold, and heartbreaking. It's about coming of age, creativity, being yourself, Jewish mothers, fashion, art, loss, and glamour. I loved it." — Andy Cohen, New York Times bestselling author of Superficial
"The key to the warmth and overall success of the memoir is Mizrahi's unapologetic, bare-all approach as he shares the best and worst aspects of his life... a charming and witty memoir." — Kirkus
