yes, his Elvis bio is crap too - there were several devastating reviews when his Bruce book came out, particularly, as I recall, by Nat Hentoff. I read it and it's a mess. Lawrence Schiller, his collaborator, is basically a literary ambulance chaser. Best books on Lenny are The Essential, his autobiography, and the book that came out a year or so ago on his legal battles - better yet, get the LPs and CDs -
another amazing thing is the Lenny Bruce Performance film, from the Basin Street West. Brilliant stuff-
