In this unique and hilarious debut memoir, writer and comedian Greg Mania chronicles life as a "pariah prodigy." From inadvertently coming out to his Polish immigrant parents, to immersing himself in the world of New York City nightlife, and finding himself and his voice in comedy. Born to Be Public is a vulnerable and poignant exploration of identity (and the rediscovery of it), mental health, sex and relationships, all while pursuing a passion with victories and tragicomic blunders. At once raw and relatable, Mania's one-of-a-kind voice will make you shed tears from laughter and find its way into your heart.
“This is a gift of a book from a young writer who seems likely to become a comedy star.” - NPR “Comedic gold.” - O, The Oprah Magazine “There’s a lot of humanity in these pages, and it’s a humanity that Mania renders with both tenderness and hilarity.” - BuzzFeed “An impressive humorist with a voice all his own.” - Kirkus Reviews "Greg Mania is one of the funniest up-and-coming writers cranking out work and he is finally releasing his laugh-out-loud memoir....Come for the laughs, stay for the heartwarming story of coming out in the most millennial way possible." - Electric Literature
