Lukas Gage was having one of the shittiest weeks of his life. His
beloved grandmother was dying, and Lukas was sitting next to his father
– a man who had been mostly absent in his son’s childhood, except when
talking to Lukas about tits. They were also across the street from a
building where, months prior, Lukas had to grapple with the dissolution
of his marriage.
Naturally, Lukas did the smartest thing anyone can do in a crisis:
doomscroll to see what random people on the internet were saying about
him. People were calling him an attention whore – and they were right.
As a toddler, he set his room on fire. As a child, he flirted with
women at Hooters. As a teen, he fell hopelessly in love with a girl who
wore an ankle monitor. And as an adult, he became an actor and filmed
that scene in TheWhite Lotus (if you know, you know). Lukas was scared
of attention and yet he craved it more than anything in the world.
I Wrote This for Attention is an exquisite memoir that details Lukas’
coming of age in the haunting underbelly of San Diego. Capturing
universal anxieties – of transitioning from innocence to adulthood, of
feeling too much and nothing at all, of sex and death, of fame and
familial strife – this book is a remarkable achievement of healing,
vaping through therapy sessions and having the courage to forgive the
family that hurt you.
