By: Lauren Wolman
Hot off the heels of the success of his first book Blackouts and Breakdowns, Mark Brennan Rosenberg is back March 3rd previewing selections for his upcoming memoir, Eating My Feelings.
"Eating My Feelings is the hilarious tale of an overweight soon-to-be-gay 10 year old who is introduced to his new evil stepmother over bad eggrolls. Let the food issues begin. Follow Mark in this coming-of-age story that takes him through fat camp, a diet where he gets paid to lose weight and of course, high school. The self imagine issues continue in adulthood as Mark hires a menagerie of personal trainers, tries to emulate Julie and Julia in order to get published and attempts to date while having an imaginary relationship with Tony Horton, the founder of the P90X workout program."A preview reading of Eating My Feelings will take place on Thursday March 3rd.
