Why it endured
The definitive biography of Lenny Bruce — the comedian who went to jail for saying words on stage and in doing so changed American free speech forever. Goldman spent years interviewing everyone who knew Bruce, producing a book that is at once a cultural history of postwar America and a tragedy of talent and self-destruction.
