This loving but interminable biography provides a fast-paced overview of the (largely familiar) facts about the comic’s life and career, but steadfastly descends into cliché and platitude every time the author tries to move beyond a narrative account of the icon’s Wikipedia page. It’s also hugely repetitive, suggesting that either Williams was a lot less interesting than we might think, or that Itzkoff is simply ill-equipped to document his quite fascinating life. Good enough to keep reading until the end, if only just barely.
