How Do I Un-Remember This?: Unfortunately True Stories

A New York Times bestseller that proves your most awkward moments might just be your greatest hits.

From Danny Pellegrino--host of the Everything Iconic podcast--comes a hilariously vulnerable collection of true stories that blur the line between cringe and catharsis. Growing up gay in small-town Ohio, Danny didn't have role models--he had Brandy ballads and late-night reruns of The Nanny. Pop culture wasn't just entertainment--it was escape, therapy, and survival.

In How Do I Un-Remember This?, Danny revisits his most unforgettable moments: flying teeth, public streaking, an urn at Kohl's--and the deeper emotional truths behind them. Told with sharp wit and sincere heart, these essays celebrate the messy, mortifying, and meaningful path to self-acceptance.
