title: Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent
author:  Anthony Rapp 
description: "Beautifully written...<i>[Without You]</i> shows that a life story truthfully told can be stranger (as well as more touching) than fiction." <br /> <br /> -- William Georgiades, <i>New York Post</i><br /><br />"No roar-of-the-crowd, smell-of-the-greasepaint scrapbook; it's a sprawling, tear-streaked life story and unabashedly sentimental ode to his mother...[Rapp's] voice is unpretentious and unfailingly honest." <br /> <br /> -- Melissa Rose Bernardo, <i>Entertainment Weekly</i><br /><br />"The tragic, compelling back story to <i>Rent</i> extends the book's appeal far beyond the show's fans." <br /> <br /> -- Web Behrens, <i>Chicago Tribune</i><br /><br />"Pitch-perfect...a book for anyone who has experienced great loss, [and] for anyone who has survived and grown because of that loss." <br /> <br /> -- David Weigand, <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i><br /><br />"A memoir roiling with personal revelation and uncensored emotion." <br /> <br /> -- Christine Dolen, <i>The Miami Herald</i>
