Here is a statement from publisher of Permute Press, Anthony Ziccardi, about his upcoming memoir:
“I am thrilled to present to the world Entrances and Exits, the long-awaited memoir by Michael Richards, whose side-splitting antics as Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld have entertained generations of viewers and left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape.”
The memoir will reveal never-before-told stories from his life, including being raised by his schizophrenic grandmother. He also writes of his time in the United States army after being drafted in 1970, and how he found his voice in theater at a young age. The experience helped shape his career, from performing in the comedy scene alongside Robin Williams and Jay Leno, to his breakout role on Seinfeld.

Richards also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the development of Kramer’s character and his lasting influence on pop culture. He gives his perspective on creating the show's signature comedy alongside the cast, writers and guest stars.
Richards will also reflect upon his “shameful” 2006 outburst, when he was filmed shouting racial epithets at audience members during a stand-up show in Los Angeles. After the incident, Richards has largely kept his life private. The incident drove him into a “lifelong spiritual quest,” as well as one of accountability.
Here is a clip from the book's introduction:
"My book is a hymn to the irrational, the senseless spirit that breaks the whole into pieces, a reflection on the seemingly absurd difficulties that intrude upon us all."
Seinfeld creator Jerry Seinfeld also wrote the foreword for the book. Entrances and Exits will be published in June 2024.
