about growing up in the ‘50s and ‘60s before embarking on
a show business career. In it he recounts his journey from
an apartment in the Bronx, developing his talent in Chicago
and the beginning of his show business stardom. The book is
pure Robert Klein: witty, honest, self-questioning and always
contagiously funny. Publishers Weekly wrote: “...he unfurls
an array of captivating anecdotes, writing with wry wit and
honesty.”
