Description
Rising Action Publishing, in collaboration with Audible, is thrilled to announce the Chicago date for Cake Eater by Carl Radke!
Join Carl, reality TV star, entrepreneur, and now author, as he celebrates the release of his highly anticipated memoir, Cake Eater.
In Cake Eater, Carl opens up about the path that got him to where he is today: his years on Summer House, his struggles with addiction, grief, and identity, and the journey toward a more honest, grounded life. With the same mix of vulnerability and humor, Carl shares what it really takes to rebuild yourself in public and how sobriety gave him back the joy he thought he’d lost.
At this special event, Carl will discuss the making of Cake Eater, answer audience questions, and sign copies of the book. Whether you’ve followed his story from Bravo or are just discovering it now, this is your chance to hear Carl like you’ve never heard him before, real, unfiltered, and full of heart. Please know this event is 21+ due to venue requirements. No alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
