I Am the New Black Written by Tracy Morgan and Anthony Bozza Category: Biography & Autobiography
The outrageously funny, heartbreaking, and suprising story of Tracy Morgan’s rise from ghetto wiseass to superstar comedian.
With brutal honesty and his trademark take-no-prisoners humor, Tracy tells the story of his rise to fame, with all its highs and its many lows–from the very public battles with alcohol and diabetes that threatened both his career and his life to the private and poignant end of his twenty-year marriage. In his singularly warped and brilliant way he muses on family, love, sex, race, politics, ambition, and what it takes to bring the funny. Also available as an abridged audio CD and an eBook.
