Overview

From legendary character actor Stephen Tobolowsky, comes a collection of memoiristic pieces about life, love, acting, and adventure, told with a beguiling voice and an uncommon talent for storytelling.

The Dangerous Animals Club by Stephen Tobolowsky is a series of stories that form a non-linear autobiography. Each story stands on its own, and yet there are larger interconnecting narratives that weave together from the book's beginning to end. The stories have heroics and embarrassments, riotous humor and pathos, characters that range from Bubbles the Pigmy Hippo to Stephen's unforgettable mother, and scenes that include coke-fueled parties, Hollywood sets, French trains, and hospital rooms.

Told in a vivid, honest, and wondrous voice, Tobolowsky manages to render the majestic out of the seemingly mundane, profundity from the patently absurd, and grace from tragedy. This book marks the debut of a massively talented storyteller.

  • A Kind of Hollywood Memoir by That Guy

    Jim F. - 6 years 2 months ago

    I think of him as the alternative healer on one episode of Seinfeld. He has been that bald guy in dozens of television shows and movies. Stephen Tobolowsky has written a memoir mostly about growing up and being an actor and it is funny and revealing. The title story was a bit of a slog, but I am glad I moved past it to his stories of growing up in Texas and following his instincts into the "impossible" world of being a professional actor.
