Offered in 0 more formatsFrank, outrageous, profane, incisive, urgent - but above all, possessed by luminous humor - Pryor takes us from his birth in Peoria, Illinois, in 1940 and his childhood and adolescence in a family that worked in the whorehouses, bars, and pool halls of the black section, through his stint in the army, his peripatetic life as a burgeoning comic, his achievement of a true comedic persona, his ascendance as the most powerful and honest comedian of the 1970s and early 1980s, to his years as a cultural icon - the legendary performances, the movies, the money, the women, the cocaine addiction, the self-immolation, the six marriages, the quadruple-bypass surgery, and the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
The personal memoirs of a revolutionary comedian follows Pryor's streetwise childhood, early successes, battle with cocaine, six marriages, quadruple-bypass surgery, and diagnosis with multiple sclerosis. 75,000 first printing. $75,000 ad/promo.
