"Terrific memoir, grab yourself a copy"- Paula Poundstone reacts to Billie Jean King's autobiography
American stand-up comedian Paula Poundstone shared her thoughts on Billie Jean King's autobiography, titled "All In: An Autobiography," which was released a year ago.
The tennis legend's life is vividly described in the book. It is a moving and personal self-portrait of King that highlights her accomplishments, activism, and dedication to social justice. It gives readers a better understanding of her on-court and off-court affairs.
Two days ago, the autobiography completed its first anniversary, King took to Twitter to show her gratitude towards those who had assisted her in writing and publishing the book.
"One year ago yesterday, my memoir, All In, was released. Thank you to each person who helped me research, write, and publish the book. No one succeeds alone," King tweeted.
