Entrances and Exits

De: Michael Richards, Jerry Seinfeld - foreword

Narrado por: Michael Richards

The man who brought the kavorka to the Seinfeld show through one of the most remarkable and beloved television characters ever invented, Kramer, shares the extraordinary life of a comedy genius—the way he came into himself as an artist, the ups and downs as a human being, the road he has traveled in search of understanding.

“The hair, so essential, symbolizes the irrational that was and is and always will be the underlying feature not only of Kramer but of comedy itself. This seemingly senseless spirit has been coursing through me since childhood. I’ve been under its almighty influence since the day I came into this world. I felt it all within myself, especially the physical comedy, the body movements, so freakish and undignified, where I bumped into things, knocked stuff down, messed up situations, and often ended up on my ass.

“This book is a hymn to the irrational, the senseless spirit that breaks the whole into pieces, a reflection on the seemingly absurd difficulties that intrude upon us all. It’s Harpo Marx turning us about, shaking up my plans, throwing me for a loop. Upset and turmoil is with us all the time. It’s at the basis of comedy. It’s the pratfall we all take. It’s the unavoidable mistake we didn’t expect. It’s everywhere I go. It’s in the way that I am, both light and dark, good and not-so-good. It’s my life.”—Michael Richards, from Entrances and Exits

Insightful Reading

A very good read, providing insides to a true cultural phenomenon! It covers the good bad and everything in between. It felt deeply personal. Well done, Mr. Richards!

So much POW! Mind blowing, and an inside scoop of the life of Michael Richards. A MUST CHECK OUT!!!

This is a must read about the life of Michael Richards, the man behind many faces including Cosmo Kramer. This book had many ups and downs and really just mind blowing stories, so far chapter 15: The Truth was so raw that I even cried, that one was deep. Chapter 24: The Coming Home was so good and heartfelt. The infamous Chapter 27: Not Funny took more of an inside scoop of the incident and the aftermath. And last but not least Chapter 31: The Light was just amazing. Like really this is a must read and I hope to see Michael Richards one day just to shake his hand and thank him for this book. He really went outta the ballpark with this one. <3
