Lenny Bruce: The Making of a Prophet Thomas William KarlPaperback
Lenny Bruce was the most controversial comedian of the 20th century, and William Karl Thomas was his only writing collaborator, a collaboration that lasted ten years from before Bruce's rise to international fame until the night he died. Before there was a George Carlin or a Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce paved the way for a performer to tell the truth about sex, politics, and religion, but he did so at the cost of political, religious, and police harassment, and he did so with his mother, Sally Marr, his manager who was the first to recognize his talents, Frank Ray Perelli, and his collaborator, William Karl Together they crafted the milestone comedy material in Bruce's pioneering first three comedy albums, wrote three screenplays too controversial to ever make it to the screen, and fought the good fight for First Amendment Rights in which Bruce's trials have become milestone court cases.
