Committed is a bold, offbeat, globe-trotting memoir that shows how
the most ridiculed punching bag in high school became an
internationally renowned crusader for the most downtrodden
individuals of all -- animals. This irresistibly entertaining book
recounts the unorthodox coming-of-age that inspired a reluctant
party boy to devote his life to a cause, without ever abandoning
his sense of mischief and fun.
Mathews is the irreverent force behind the colorful crusades
carried out by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA),
making animal rights the "it" cause with campaigns involving nude
protestors, odd costumes, and celebrities as diverse as Pamela
Anderson and Sir Paul McCartney. With self-deprecating wit and
candor, he reveals the edgy details of his outrageous career, which
has found him arrested naked on the streets of Hong Kong, dressed
as a carrot outside grade schools in Iowa (where he was pelted with
luncheon meats), and impersonating a priest to crash a fashion show
in Milan.
From the rock scene in Hollywood and London to the inner
sanctums of New York high fashion and from jails in Boston to a
psychiatric ward in Paris, "Committed" spotlights the adventures
life can offer when you don't abandon your ideals and imagination
with your youth.
