When Your Father Is a God-and a Ghost
Picture a four-year-old girl standing at the gates of a Hollywood mansion, about to meet her father for the first time. He's one of the most famous comedians alive, and when he sees her, he doesn't deny her existence-he proclaims it. "She looks just like me, doesn't she? Ain't denying this one's mine!" For Rain Pryor, that moment marked the beginning of a lifelong journey between two worlds: Black and Jewish, privilege and pain, laughter and loss. Her memoir pulls back the curtain on what it means to grow up as the daughter of Richard Pryor-a man who could make millions laugh while his own children watched him burn, literally and figuratively. This isn't just a celebrity memoir. It's a meditation on identity, belonging, and the complicated nature of loving someone who can barely love themselves.
