  Jokes My Father Never Taught Me...

  Rain Pryor, Cathy Crimmins

  The loving, witty, yet brutally honest memoir of the daughter of comedy legend Richard Pryor. 
   
  Rain Pryor was born in the idealistic, free-love 1960s. Her mother was a Jewish go-go dancer who wanted a tribe of rainbow children. Rain’s father was Richard Pryor, perhaps the most compelling and brilliant comedian of his era, a man whose self-destructiveness was as legendary as his groundbreaking comedy. 
   
  Jokes My Father Never Taught Me is an intimate, harrowing, poignant, and often hilarious memoir that explores the divided heritage and the forces that shaped a wildly schizophrenic childhood. It is the story of a girl who grew up adoring her father even as she feared him—and feared for him, as his drug problems got worse. Both lovingly told and painfully frank, it is an unprecedented look at the life of a comedy icon, told by a daughter who both understood the genius and knew the tortured man within. 
   
  Praise for Jokes My Father Never Taught Me 
   
  “Rain Pryor pulls no punches . . . Using the same profanity-laced wit her father perfected, she unspools darkly comic stories . . . but never devolves into self-pity or bitterness.” —Entertainment Weekly 
   
  “Vital, entertaining and appalling, Pryor has fleshed out a familiar dysfunctional family refrain—”It was a lot easier to love him if you didn’t know him”—with bravery and wit.” —Publishers Weekly

  Fly - Have Magic In Your Life

  There is a hidden artist within each of us. We all have a natural yearning to express
  ourselves. As children, this self-expression is a joyful natural process, manifested through
  drawing and movement without ever thinking about what other people may say. Yet as
  we grow older we often become more inhibited, frustrated and reserved.
  The FLY process is one of letting go, relinquishing control and permitting the unplanned
  and unexpected to take the lead. In this way, we take the first step on the path towards
  reconnecting to the curious creative child we once were, thus rediscovering our creative
  inner spirit.
  FLY stands for Free the Life within You. Developing this concept has turned my life into an
  inspiring, unexpected colorful journey, depicted in the artwork from the 3 painting series
  shown in this book.
  Deep Space - inspired by the Hubble telescope images
  Human Formation – based on Lennart Nilsson's inner body photography
  Cycles of Life – influenced by the everlasting journey of the human spirit
  I am thrilled to share my personal quest with you. Be my guest and FLY with me
  Have magic in your life
  Ted Barr
