David Chang said the memoir was already published and described it as a candid look at his chaotic life, noting he had been pretending it didn't exist to cope.
I want to ask you about your book. Can you talk a little bit about your new book?
Yeah. Eat a Peach. Great song. Yeah. Fuck, man. It's out. It's a memoir. You can read about my crazy life. I don't even understand why it's out there. I've been pretending that it didn't happen. That's the easiest way for me to get through life.
Right, because it's so revelatory. You're so open and honest in it, so it's kind of like you have to pretend, right? That everybody's not reading about what you're thinking about.
I did. I don't know. That's why I was like, you guys are so good at doing this shit. I don't know how. It's... I was... Of course, I read all the criticism. And people are like, yeah, he shouldn't have read his own book.
