Avan Jogia's poetry book, 'Autopsy (of an ex-teen heartthrob)', captures his transformative years while starring on Nickelodeon's 'Victorious'. He experienced sudden fame at a young age, all while grappling with his mother's cancer diagnosis. During a recent book signing event at The Strand bookstore, Jogia discussed these experiences and how they shaped his understanding of identity and the entertainment industry. His collection features poetry and prose that reflect on this duality of rising celebrity and personal struggle, illustrating a profound journey from adolescence to adulthood.
"Pub week is weird," he confesses. "It feels like the book just goes out into the ether... I'm gonna really like reading tonight, because it'll make it feel real."
Autopsy compiles poems and narrative prose that chronicle a period of intense change in Jogia's life: within six months of dropping out of high school... he booked Victorious.
