Nationally
renowned actor and comedian Robert Klein of Briarcliff Manor (and NYC and
LA) has been telling us funny stories about himself for four decades, but now
he’s organized them into a thoroughly delightful memoir of his life from the Bronx
to Broadway and Hollywood, The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue: A Child of
the Fifties Looks Back, just released by Touchstone. It takes us only into
the early days of his successful career, but that’s all right — we know so much
about the plays, records, movies, late night show appearances, HBO specials, and
many awards that followed. If you loved him before for his public life and his
Scary Stories at Sunnyside just for us, the book will make you love him more,
and you’ll admire his thoughtful take on life as well as his famous, irrepressible
sense of humor.
