DAVID ITZKOFF
Robin
Wednesday, May 23 at 7 PM

"Dave Itzkoff allows readers a rare intimate look at Robin Williams in this honest and emotional biography of the late entertainer...a fresh look at a man loved by many but truly understood by few."- Time

Meet this New York Times culture reporter, who has written the definitive biography of Robin Williams - a compelling portrait of one of America's most beloved and misunderstood entertainers.

From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy and his Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative and beloved entertainer. Itzkoff reveals how Williams' comic brilliance masked a deep well of conflicting emotions and self-doubt, which he drew upon in his comedy and in celebrated films like Dead Poets Society, Good Morning, Vietnam, and The Fisher King.
