George Carlin was one of America's pre-eminent comedic voices. In 1993 he asked his friend, author Tony Hendra, to help him write his autobiography. For almost fifteen years, in scores of conversations, the two discussed Carlin's life, times, and evolution as a major artist. When Carlin died in June 2008 with the book still unpublished, Hendra assembled it as his friend would have wanted. Last Words is the rollicking, wrenching story of Carlin's life, as well as a parting gift of laughter to the world of comedy he helped create. The New York Times - Jim Windolf …a jazzy, inward-looking piece of work…a treasure for anyone who has ever felt in tune with this cheerfully misanthropic comedian…The book is very strong when it goes into his analyses of how he learned to speak his mind onstage and also of how he took timid backward steps following many of his eureka moments. This is the stuff of a great comedy seminar.
