NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An inspiring story that manages to be painful honest shocking
bawdy and hilarious.” —The New York Times Book Review From stand-up comedian actress and
breakout star of Girls Trip Tiffany Haddish comes The Last Black Unicorn a sidesplitting
hysterical edgy and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays as fearless as the
author herself. Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles
Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that then her classmates
would let her copy their homework the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up
and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school
mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done so then she might
get a boyfriend. None of that worked (and she’s still single) but it allowed Tiffany to
imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.
Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is whether she’s plotting shocking
jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite
still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name she recounts
with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning
sharing and using her pain to heal others. By turns hilarious filthy and brutally honest
The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is—humble grateful
down-to-earth and funny as hell. And now she’s ready to inspire others through the power of
laughter.
