About
Not for you if you want a strictly chronological, fact-only biography; it’s built around personal recollections and Pryor’s impact, and fans of Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind or Amy may enjoy its focus.
Pros: personal storytelling; Pryor legacy; fan-friendly details | Cons: limited scope; heavy on reminiscing
