A major biographyintimate, gripping, revelatoryof an artist who revolutionized American comedy.Richard Pryor may have been the most unlikely star in Hollywood history. Raised in his familys brothels, he grew up an outsider to privilege. He took to the stage, originally, to escape the hardbitten realities of his childhood, but later came to a reverberating discovery: that by plunging into the depths of his experience, he could make standup comedy as exhilarating and harrowing as the life hed known. He brought that trembling vitality to Hollywood, where his movie careerBlazing Saddles, the buddy comedies with Gene Wilder, Blue Collarflowed directly out of his spirit of creative improvisation. The major studios considered him dangerous. Audiences felt plugged directly into the socket of life.Becoming Richard Pryor brings the man and his comic genius into focus as never before.

It reveals that, while Pryor made himself a legend with his own account of his life onstage, the full truth of that life is more bracing still.
