📝 Description

My Brother Sam is a biography written by Bill Kinison that chronicles the meteoric rise and tragic life of his brother, the legendary and controversial comedian Sam Kinison. The book provides an intimate look at Sam's transition from a Pentecostal preacher to one of the most influential 'rock star' comedians of the 1980s. It details the personal struggles, the wild lifestyle, and the specific childhood accident—being hit by a truck—that many believe altered Sam's personality and fueled his intense, screaming comedic style.
