Cómo ser grosero e influir en los demás

Este libro es un monumento a la rabia y la risa. Instigado por Hugh Hefner (que iría publicando cada entrega en la revista Playboy), Lenny Bruce escribió su autobiografía entre 1963 y 1965, cuando un sonoro juicio por obscenidad y la implacable persecución de los virtuosos ya lo habían convertido en el paria más célebre de Estados Unidos. Fue su último cartucho para ajustar cuentas con los guardianes del orden que lo había acosado desde los inicios de su carrera. Las palabras de Albert Goldman sobre una de sus grandes actuaciones describen cabalmente estas páginas: 'Agarró el micrófono como si fuera el saxo de Charlie Parker y empezó a emitir todo lo que le acudía a la cabeza sin censuras ni mediaciones. Era un puro cerebro que enviaba ondas mentales a los hombres y mujeres allí sentados. Emitía y emitía hasta alcanzar la clarividencia'. Grabado en español ibérico (España).

How to Talk Dirty and Influence People: An Autobiography

During the course of a career that began in the 1940s, Lenny Bruce challenged the sanctity of organized religion and other societal and political conventions and widened the boundaries of free speech. Critic Ralph Gleason said, "so many taboos have been lifted and so many comics have rushed through the doors Lenny opened. He utterly changed the world of comedy." He died in 1966 at the age of 40, his influence on the worlds of comedy, jazz, and satire incalculable, and How to Talk Dirty and Influence People-now republished to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Lenny Bruce's death-remains a brilliant existential account of his life and the forces that made him the most important and controversial entertainer in history. **Please Contact Customer Service for Additional Documents**
