Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"[A] standout anthology... Sharp, funny, and often inspiring, this is a must-read for Gregory’s fans, and a perfect entry point for the uninitiated." — Publishers Weekly “A useful bookend to a public figure who wielded humor with vigor and an astuteness to the American condition perhaps matched only by Mark Twain.” — Washington Post "A satisfying encapsulation of the career of a seminal comedian and social justice warrior." — Kirkus Reviews “The Essential Dick Gregory covers a lot of ground . . . Dick Gregory was one of a kind, the genuine article. If you never saw him, this collection of his thoughts and writings are a wonderful introduction . . . If you did see him, this book will bring back memories, and you will learn things about him you may not have known.” — New York Journal of Books
