The turbulent memoirs of one of the most revolutionary and influential comic performers of the last twenty-five years. Richard Pryor takes us from his birth in Peoria, Illinois, in 1940, through bouts of working in whore-houses, bars and pool-halls, time in the army, his ascendance as a cultural icon of the 1980s, covering wealth, cocaine addiction, multiple marriages and illness.
