Non-Fiction Memoir
Before Steven Cojocaru was diagnosed with polycystic
kidney disease, he could never have imagined himself living
anything other than a high-glam Hollywood lifestyle. A bon
vivant on two coasts, he held jobs as both the red carpet
guru for Entertainment Tonight and the fashion
correspondent for the Today show, hauling his
suitcase full of flat irons and designer boots from New York
to Los Angeles and back again, every week. He was Cojo,
professional glamour boy with a barbed tongue who went
shopping with J.Lo and traded fashion tips with Gwyneth.
But a painful and ironically unglamorous reality
would begin to form itself around his life, and Cojo found
himself with a new Rolodex of A-List friends: The kidney
team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
In a memoir that moves beyond the celebrity, Glamour,
Interrupted is an inspiring and darkly humorous story
about how, in the midst of a world obsessed with youth and
beauty, Cojo survived what turned out to be the fight of his
life. From drug-induced meltdowns to waking up in the
hospital on life support, Cojo recounts his desperate hunt
for a new kidney—after a failed transplant and months of
dialysis—that ended with a twist of fate and forged an even
stronger bond with his mother. With a bit of eye
cream, a little concealer, and just a touch of bronzer, he
found a strength he didn't know he had, and used his
unfaltering sense of humor to help him survive.
