About the Author
Creative Loafing Charlotte, 6/7/11
“[A] detailed look at Carlin's life, which helps fill in some of the gaps in the comedy legend's own version. Sullivan does a good job of presenting a linear rundown of the various incarnations Carlin went through in his 71 years…He's smart enough to let Carlin's story tell itself—and to put it in the context of how one man's inner growth matched the changes many people in America were going through at the same time.”
Smoke, Summer 2011
“[The] definitive biography of the Catholic boy for whom nothing was sacred…This is a must-read not just for fans of Carlin, but for any student of American culture.”
