"""A touching and sometimes hilarious graphic novel.""-- ""Parade online"" ""John's writing has always been cutting-edge. His relationships with women, father and son stories, autobiography . . . He is a pioneer in theater and comedy, not just for Latin people, but as much as any comic or playwright I've ever seen or read. No one makes me laugh louder than this man. We are better because of him.""-- ""Sophia Vergara"" ""John's writing is a cross between hip-hop and Eugene O'Neill. His scathing and unforgiving look at his own life takes no prisoners and, best of all, sets himself--and us--free.""-- ""Baz Luhrmann"" ""Though Leguizamo has matured, this insightful and engaging memoir still offers plenty of youthful edginess.""-- ""Booklist"" ""Ghetto Klown is autobiographical dynamite--this is Leguizamo at his scathing, honest, moving, comedic best. Among the finest portraits of an artist as a young wounded talented man as I've read.""-- ""Junot Díaz"" ""My main Johnny Legs has done it again. Ghetto Klown as a graphic novel? DOPENESS.""-- ""Spike Lee"" ""The graphic novel of Ghetto Klown captures the infectious spirit of John Leguizamo's live performances with the same surprising humor and cultural insight. These pages make John seem like the coolest super hero in New York.""-- ""Jesse Eisenberg"""
