From New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff comes the definitive biography of Robin Williams—a compelling portrait of one of America’s most beloved and misunderstood entertainers. Williams’s comic brilliance masked a deep well of conflicting emotions and self-doubt. In his comedy and in celebrated films like Dead Poets Society; Good Morning, Vietnam; and Mrs. Doubtfire, he showcased his limitless gift for improvisation, bringing his characters to life and using humor to seek deeper truths. Join Second Readers on November 28 at 3:00 p.m. in Room 61 to discuss Robin. Note: This is not the usual third Wednesday meeting date. It has been changed to November 28 because of the Thanksgiving holidays.
