Castigated in his time for breaching such American conversational taboos as religion, sex, censorship, and racism, Lenny Bruce proved to be a pioneer in exposing hypocrisies, the impact of which still echoes on both sides of censorship controversies. This book and soon-to-be-released private tapes are sure to bring the extent of Bruce's influence into sharp focus. Photo insert.

Amazon.de

In 1963, before the law and his drug habit brought the curtain down on the comedian, Hugh Hefner asked then-superstar Lenny Bruce to write his autobiography. Lenny hired writer Paul Krassner to help him edit the book, which appeared in Playboy over the next two years. Though it's uneven, and somewhat dated, How to Talk Dirty and Influence People deserves a look, if only to balance the movie Lenny, which many of the comedian's friends say missed the man entirely. The book is, simply, Lenny Bruce riffing on his life--from a drab childhood in Brooklyn, to stints in the navy and merchant marine, and finally to the nightclub circuit and eventual stardom. Of course, the veracity of any single anecdote is highly questionable, but How to Talk Dirty and Influence People rises above that, revealed as a fascinating expression of how this comedy icon wanted to be seen. Namely, as a rough-and-tumble kid from the streets, as a hustler and ladies' man, and, finally, as a fearless detonator of society's hypocrisy. (Notice that addict and dissolute don't make the list.)

In the movies ... Everett Sloane was a tycoon. He would get his gun off disillusioning Joel McCrea, who wanted to publish a newspaper that would make a statement, and telling him: "M'boy, you'll see when you get old that it's all a game." And I used to think, "No, it's not that way, this cynical old bastard is bullshitting, there are the Good Guys and the Bad Guys, the liars and the truth-tellers."
But Everett Sloane was right. There is only what is. The what-should-be never did exist, but people keep trying to live up to it. There is only what is.

How to Talk Dirty and Influence People doesn't catch Bruce's charisma and vaguely sinister electricity--no book could--but it is an interesting, lively read. Bruce was one of the first performers to usher in the new, more honest, more permissive, and more indulgent brand of American art. For anyone who wants to understand our comedy and culture, How to Talk Dirty and Influence People is well worth reading. --Michael Gerber

How to Talk Dirty and Influence People

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 9. Februar 1999

An excellent, if a little short, account of the life and times of the stand-up comic that helped changed the face of comedy forever.
Most of the book which starts with his childhood is presented in a stand-up format which makes for an entertaining read as you can almost imagine Lenny on stage orating this material.
In contrast, the two trial transcripts (thankfully truncated) are quite laborious to read, although that may well be the point. There is a nice piece following the section covering his second trial which describes the downfall of the arresting officer and the doctor who diagnosed him as a narcotics addict, despite significant evidence to the contrary. It gave this reader a suitably smug feeling, particularly considering the circumstances of this arrest and trial.
He is also refreshingly honest in the book, with frank descriptions of the scams that he participated in, whether it was posing as a priest to solicit money for a leper colony (from which he deducted 'operating expenses') or procuring guests for a popular TV show of the time. He also tells of some occasions where he was the victim of a scam, usually writing material for someone and not being paid for it, although he didn't name any names.
I have a fairly recent edition of this book and I'm only surprised that it hasn't had an 'executive editor' appointed to add italicised paragraphs here and there to complete his story along with a final chapter detailing the nature of his death and a suitable epitaph.
Anyone who likes honest stand-up comedy should read this book.

Belly laughs meet stinging social commentary

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 12. November 1997

This book will make almost any non-prude laugh out loud. It will also make you think quite a bit. I can't think of a better embodiment of the words of Lenny Bruce. The beauty of the book is that you find yourself in stitches for four or fives pages, and then-Wham!-he hits you right between the eyes with a vibrant piece of social commentary.

Extremely good

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 31. Januar 2020

Verifizierter Kauf

I knew very little about Lenny Bruce before reading this: he was performing just before the age of live comedy being televised/commercialised and thus later viewable on YouTube. Tremendously stimulating and individualistic writing, almost literary in places, with a wide vocabulary and use of Yiddish words and overall colour. One can easily detect Bruce's influence on, say, Philip Roth, particularly 'Portnoy's Complaint'. Highly recommended. And funny in a black, unobvious way.

A Lesson in Time

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 16. November 2018

Verifizierter Kauf

As society's mores change over time so does the law and Lenny Bruce was ahead of his time. Today his act would be considered tame when compared to some.

This book gives some valuable insight into his style and reminds the reader that their own judgement of morality may not be shared by lawmakers for the time being, but may be shared by them in the future as they generraly work in arrears.

Lenny was ahead of the curve and carved the way forward for a new breed of stand-up which is still testing the barriers of taste.

He is also very funny and his death was a great loss of a talented and seemingly troubled man.

History Revisited?

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 18. September 2017

Verifizierter Kauf

Sometimes derided as a period piece, but more a timely reminder of how history is currently repeating its tunnel vision in US since January 2017. What would Lenny have made of the Current State of the Union.....and would the State of the Union have made of Lenny Bruce...have a read and decide for yourself.
