The book covers several deeply unsettling incidents in the same conversational manner that one would expect to hear a standup act in. Interspersed with her accidentally comic dating life are her trials with a mentally unstable mother, an absent father, and a negligent and possibly criminal step-dad. Be it how she gave him goo-filled Jordans, sent devious x-rated Christmas presents to all his relatives, or how she became a pimp to exact revenge on an ex-boyfriend who was trying his hand at becoming one too – no story is off-limits. There is no detail too petty for Tiffany to share. Equally extraordinary is the tale of how she exacted revenge on a cheating ex-boyfriend. She’s already spoken about Roscoe, the handicapped guy, during multiple TV shows, so we won’t go there. As in the case with Haddish in real life, this book too has zero tolerance for political correctness.įor instance she describes with the minutest details the thoroughly entertaining, but completely wack stories of the men she’s dated. Have you ever bought a book that promised you a whole lot of LOLs but ended up forcing you to sit TF down to ponder over the mere privilege of… being alive? Comedienne Tiffany Haddish’s book, The Last Black Unicorn, which you can easily finish in two post-work sittings, is a selection of stories and incidents from her childhood, her awkward (for lack of a better word) love-life, how she got started with standup comedy, her two marriages to the same guy, her brush with fame and her celebrity friends.
