Editor's Note: Legendary comedian Richard Pryor had six children from seven wives. One of them was Rain Pryor, a product of his union with a Jewish woman named Shelley Bonis. Rain wears her biracial identity as a source of pride, joking that while growing up, she felt "proud, but guilty about it." Herself a performer, she has since created a one-woman show called Fried Chicken and Latkes.
Rain recently published her memoir called Jokes My Father Never Taught Me: Life, Love, and Loss with Richard Pryor about what it was like growing up the Jewish daughter of America's most famous black comic. Herewith, we're proud to present an excerpt of the book's first chapter.
