From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy and his performance in Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative actor and comedian. He often came across as a man possessed, but Itzkoff shows that Williams's comic brilliance masked a deep well of conflicting emotions and self-doubt. Williams struggled with addiction and depression, and with a debilitating condition at the end of his life that affected him in ways his fans never knew. -- adapted from publisher info
