A new book, The Trials of Lenny Bruce, casts the comedian's biography in the light of the First Amendment. One of the book's authors is interviewed on Powells.com, discussing the role Bruce inadvertently played in the evolution of the First Amendment. The book includes a CD of unreleased performances.

Comments: COMMENT #1 First, in case you haven't already done so, read "How to Talk Dirty and Influence People: An Autobiography --" By Lenny. This is a really good book. And after following Bruce's life and career path as he saw it, its impact and aftermath become especially poignant. \ Posted by BJMe @ 01/09/2003 08:19 AM PST [link to this comment] Add A New Comment: Name E-Mail (optional) Homepage (optional) Comments Now with a bigger box for text entry!
