Comedy guru Del Close, coach to every person from Bill Murray to Tina Fey, lays out to write his autobiography for D.C. Comics. As he leads us through sewers, psychological wards, and his strange skill for making everyone well-known however himself, Close emerges as a personification of the innovative impulse itself. He's a muse with BO as well as filthy needles, supplying transcendence regardless of (or as a result of) the route of wreckage behind him.
