520    "Douglas Stanhope is one of the most critically acclaimed 
       and stridently unrepentant comedians of his generation. 
       What will surprise some is that he owes so much of his 
       dark and sometimes uncomfortably honest sense of humor to 
       his mother, Bonnie. It was the cartoons in her Hustler 
       magazine issues that molded the beginnings of his comedic 
       journey, long before he was old enough to know what to do 
       with the actual pornography. It was Bonnie who recited 
       Monty Python sketches with him, who introduced him to 
       Richard Pryor at nine years old, and who rescued him from 
       a psychologist when he brought that brand of humor to 
       school. And it was Bonnie who took him along to all of her
       AA meetings, where Doug undoubtedly found inspiration for 
       his own storytelling. Bonnie's own path from bartending to
       truck driving, massage therapy, elder abuse, stand-up 
       comedy, and acting never stopped her from being Doug's 
       genuine number one fan. So when her alcoholic, hoarding 
       life finally came to an end many weird adventures later in
       rural Arizona, it was inevitable that Doug and Bonnie 
       would be together for one last excursion."--Jacket flap.
