Non-Fiction Biography
On his 53rd birthday, Kevin Sessums woke up in his L.A.
hotel room wondering how he would get through his scheduled
interview with Hugh Jackman. For years he had interviewed
the bright lights: Madonna, Courtney Love, Jessica Lange,
and all the other usual suspects; but, Kevin knew that his
rapidly unraveling life was as shallow as the hotel's hip
furniture and he was hanging on by his fingertips. In I Left It on the Mountain, Sessums chronicles his early
days in NY as an actor, his years working for Andy Warhol at
Interview and Tina Brown at Vanity Fair, countless nights of
anonymous sex, his HIV Positive diagnosis and his descent
into addiction. It's also the chronicle of one man's
spiritual redemption found while climbing to the top of Mt.
Kilimanjaro, walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostelo
and trudging across the cold, lonely winter beaches of
Provincetown. Peopled with the famous like Daniel Radcliffe
and Diane Sawyer as well as anonymous companions corporeal
and otherwise whom he met while mountain climbing and
hiking, I Left It on the Mountain is the story of one man's
fall and rebirth, the next moving chapter in Kevin Sessums'
extraordinary life that takes him from the high to the low
and back again. For readers who loved Mississippi Sissy and
want to know what happened to that tenacious little boy with
the baseball mitt, I Left It On the Mountain is the
sometimes very dark, but ultimately hopeful answer.
