Tiffany Haddish The Last Black Unicorn Hardback Book Novel Comedy Celebrity NEW!

From stand-up comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish comes The Last Black Unicorn, a hilarious, edgy & heart-wrenching collection of autobiographical essays that'll leave you laughing through tears. She grew up in one of the poorest parts of South Central Los Angeles. Her mother wound up with a debilitating brain injury after surviving a car accident. Tiffany never fit in anywhere: not in the households she rotated through in the foster care system & certainly not at the nearly all white high school she had to ride the bus an hour to attend. As an illiterate ninth grader, Tiffany did everything she could to survive. She finally realized that she had talent in an area she never would have suspected: comedy. Tiffany faced the 'routine' hindrances of climbing the entertainment business ladder, but had the added obstacles of sex, race, and class in her way. But she got there. She's humble, grateful, down to earth & funny as hell. She still cleans the toilet the way she was shown by a foster mom who worked as a maid, and she still rolls her joints the way one of her foster dads taught her. Tiffany can't avoid being funny: It's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing & nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is. Celebrity & Popular Culture Humor New
