How Y'All Doing?: Misadventures and Mischief from a Life Well Lived

By Leslie Jordan

Book Overview

Viral sensation and Emmy Award-winner Leslie Jordan regales fans with entertaining stories about the odd, funny, and unforgettable events in his life in this unmissable essay collection that echoes his droll, irreverent voice.

When actor Leslie Jordan learned he had "gone viral," he had no idea what that meant or how much his life was about to change. On Instagram, his uproarious videos have entertained millions and have made him a global celebrity. Now, he brings his bon vivance to the page with this collection of intimate and sassy essays.

Bursting with color and life, dripping with his puckish Southern charm, How Y'all Doing? is Leslie doing what Leslie does best: telling stories that make us laugh and lift our spirits even in the darkest days. Whether he's writing about his brush with a group of ruffians in a West Hollywood Starbucks, or an unexpected phone call from legendary Hollywood start Debbie Reynolds, Leslie infuses each story with his fresh and saucy humor and pure heart.

How Y'all Doing? is an authentic, warm, and joyful portrait of an American Sweetheart-- a Southern Baptist celebutante, first-rate raconteur, and keen observer of the odd side of life whose quirky wit rivals the likes of Amy Sedaris, Jenny Lawson, David Rakoff, and Sarah Vowell.

Customer Reviews

I love Leslie Jordan

This book is a sweet little dive into the life of the late Leslie Jordan. I did have a hard time reading his words knowing how his life was cut short. But what a sweet man and reading his reminiscing of his beautiful life was awesome. I recommend it. Not a long read, but a good one.

I just LOVE Leslie

This book was completely him! While I was reading it I could hear it in his voice.

Loved It!!!

When I saw this book, I couldn't resist. And I have to say, that it did not disappoint. Not really a memoir but more a collection of memories and anecdotes, this collection was a quick, fun read. Heartwarming, witty, and funny as hell. I highly recommend it.
