I tend to stay away from biographies, but I couldn’t resist one about the beloved Robin Williams. Dave Itzkoff interviewed Williams’s family, friends, and colleagues to piece together his story, and it never once feels like a dull rehashing of dates and facts. The bonus of listening to this book is that the narrator, Fred Berman, absolutely nails Williams’s joke delivery.
