Lacks Self-Control by Roy Sekoff

Lacks Self-Control by Roy Sekoff

Although he's generally agreeable, Roy Sekoff lacks self-control. Or so proclaimed his kindergarten teacher.

Thus pigeonholed, Sekoff spent the next several decades proving her right, gathering many outrageous, sometimes raunchy, occasionally moving, always hilarious stories along the way. From a teenage pilgrimage to a Times Square porn superstore to life-changing experiences with high colonics and psychic readings to his tenure as founding editor of the Huffington Post, Lacks Self-Control is an uproarious testament to his unwavering commitment to overshare.

Told with zinging wit and zero propriety, Sekoff's collection of true tales--caroming between his Miami childhood, overstimulated adolescence, and celebrity-adjacent adulthood--showcases his caustic yet surprisingly sweet sense of humor. Whether he's describing a youthful encounter with a killer crocodile, an ill-fated attempt to make off with a tissue containing Oprah's tears, or that time Chevy Chase grabbed his balls at a funeral, Sekoff is a lively, irreverent raconteur whose sharp observations wring laughs out of a ludicrous yet relatable life.
