by Robert Klein
This is a funny and evocative coming-of-age memoir by the beloved and award-winning comedian who has entertained audiences for more than four decades.
Summary
For more than forty years Robert Klein has entertained audiences -- on television, on Broadway, and in film. Now, in The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue, his first book, Klein uses his trademark off-the-charts humor to bring us to the heart of his creative coming-of-age.
First line
My grandparents came from the two largest cities in Hungary-Budapest and Debrecen-in 1903.
