Glenn Beck yana ɗaya daga cikin masu sharhi na dama da yawa da suka ba Harris dandalin talabijin wanda ya taimaka wa littafinsa ya yi nasara. Har ma ya tambayi ko marubucin zai yi la'akari da rubuta tarihin rayuwarsa. Harris ya ƙi cikin ladabi amma ya fara tunanin ko akwai wani mutum mai suna a bainar jama'a da zai so ya shafe shekaru na rayuwarsa yana bincike da rubutu game da shi. Wata rana, yayin da yake wanka, ya fara tunanin yadda Seinfeld da Curb Your Enthusiasm suka tsara ma'anar barkwancinsa, shekarunsa na girma, dukan ra'ayinsa na duniya. Harris ya sami haske—zai rubuta game da mutumin da ke bayansu, Larry David.
Harris ya rubuta dogon labari ga ESPN don bikin ƙarshen The League na 2015, wani shirin barkwanci da Jeff Schaffer ya rubuta kuma ya ba da umarni. Schaffer marubucin Seinfeld ne wanda zai zama babban abokin aikin David yayin da Curb Your Enthusiasm ke ci gaba. Schaffer ya ji daɗin shawarar Harris saboda yana jin ya kamata a sami tarihin rayuwar malaminsa, wanda za a iya cewa shi ne marubucin barkwanci mafi muhimmanci a tarihin talabijin na Amurka. Ya kuma san cewa maigidansa zai yi jinkiri, ganin cewa David shine mutumin da marubucin barkwanci Alan Zweibel ya taɓa kwatanta da "mutum ɗaya tilo da na sani wanda ke da nadamar saye kafin ya sayi wani abu."
Imel sun yi ta yawo a watan Agustan 2020, inda mai yiwuwa batun ya gaya wa mai yiwuwa marubucin cewa wannan mummunan ra'ayi ne. A cikin ɗaya, wanda aka sake bugawa a cikin gabatarwar Sarkin Maras Komai, ma'anar da ke ƙasa a bayyane take—kame sha'awarka: "Akwai hanyoyi mafi kyau da za ka kashe lokacinka. Babu wani abu mai ban sha'awa game da ni kuma babu sha'awa a gare ni. Wannan ba tawali'u ba ne. Gaskiya ce. To me ya sa littafin? Iyayena sun mutu, don haka yanzu sai 'ya'yana da matata kawai su karanta shi. Ba na tsammanin littattafai uku za su shiga jerin masu siyar da su fiye da kowa. Tabbas akwai batutuwa mafi kyau da za su yi maraba da tarihin rayuwa."
Harris bai karaya ba. Ya nemi abokan David kuma ya bayyana wa gwarzonsa cewa wannan ba zai zama tarihin rayuwa na al'ada ba, amma David a matsayin "jarumin cikin labarin gungu." Daga ƙarshe, don faranta wa abokansa rai ta hanyar da wanda ya maye gurbinsa a Curb Your Enthusiasm ba kasafai zai yi ba, David ya aika wa Harris imel mai kalmomi biyar: "Ya Yesu. Idan dole ne."
Lokacin da aka gabatar da Harris ga gwarzonsa, yana da abin da ya ɗauka ɗaya daga cikin manyan ra'ayoyin rayuwarsa: dabarar da George Costanza (ɗan wasan Seinfeld mai makirci wanda aka tsara bisa David) zai iya yin alfahari da ita. Ya yanke shawarar mai da hankali kan abin da suka haɗa: "Na gaske na so in yi kyakkyawan tasiri tare da Larry kuma in nuna masa ni mutum ne da zai iya yin hira da shi kawai… Ni ba ɗan jarida na al'ada ba ne wanda zai sa rayuwarsa ta yi wahala… Don haka, na ba da shawara ga wannan tattaunawar farko… batun da kawai nake so in yi magana akai shine New York Yankees." (David mai sha'awa ne na tsawon rayuwarsa.)
Nisantar aikin a wannan tattaunawar farko ya tabbatar da cewa ya kasance mataki mai ban sha'awa, ko da shekaru shida bayan haka David ya gaya wa Harris, "Na yarda in yi littafin, amma nan da nan na yi nadama." Waɗannan nadamun nasa ne kaɗai: abin da ya fara a matsayin tattaunawa game da ƙwallon baseball ya zama littafi mai shafuka 576 wanda ke ɗaukar ruhun babban mai barkwanci ta hanyoyin da ke nuna Harris ya fahimci dabarun David sosai har wannan shine mafi kusancin da za mu samu ga tarihin rayuwar Larry David. Ɗauki labarin haihuwar David, wanda ke karantawa a matsayin babbar girmamawa ga marigayi Richard Lewis, babban abokinsa kuma abokin aikinsa: "A ranar 29 ga Yuni 1947, a asibitin Yahudawa na Brooklyn, an kawo wani ƙaramin yaro mai ban mamaki cikin duniya.

Bayan kwana uku, a wannan asibitin, an haifi wani ƙaramin yaro. Sunan wannan yaron Larry David ne."
Marubucin ya yi magana da abokai, dangi, abokan aiki da maƙwabta yayin da ya yi ƙoƙarin bin diddigin tafiya da ta fara a Brooklyn, ta ƙunshi shekaru na gwagwarmaya a fagen wasan barkwanci kuma daga ƙarshe za ta samar da biyu daga cikin manyan wasannin barkwanci na talabijin a tarihin kafofin watsa labarai. Mutane kaɗan ne suka sami damar samar da aikin irin wannan inganci sau ɗaya; yin shi sau biyu kusan ba a taɓa gani ba.
Littafin yana da ban sha'awa musamman lokacin da yake magana game da shekarun David na ƙarancin kuɗi (lokacin da ya miƙe har zuwa farkon shekarunsa na 40). Yana bayyana yadda ya sami kansa yana zaɓar wurare masu yuwuwa a titi don lokacin da ba makawa zai zama maras gida, duk da cewa takwarorinsa suna kallonsa a matsayin "mai barkwancin masu barkwanci." Baiwar sa ba ta taɓa yin shakku ba, sai dai yanayinsa. Harris ya ƙware wajen zana kamanceceniya tsakanin fasaha da rayuwa, kamar yadda Seinfeld da Curb suka fi kyau lokacin da suke haɗa gaskiya da tatsuniya. Mun koyi game da gwarzonsa yana dariya ba tare da kamewa ba a wani wasan piano lokacin da ya fuskanci na'urar Pez, ya bar aikinsa a Saturday Night Live cikin fushi a ranar Juma'a kawai ya koma ranar Litinin mai zuwa kamar babu abin da ya faru, da kuma shiga gasar al'aura. Duk wannan zai zama abu a cikin shekarun Seinfeld: Jerry ya lalata wasan piano na budurwar George ta hanyar sa Elaine ta yi dariya da Pez; George ya yi ihu ga maigidansa kuma ya fice, sannan ya yi kamar babu abin da ya faru lokacin da ya fahimci abubuwan da suka shafi kuɗi; kuma The Contest, inda manyan 'yan wasa huɗu suka yi caca don sanin wanda zai iya jurewa mafi tsawo ba tare da yin al'aura ba, ya ba David Emmy. A 2009, The Contest ya kasance Na 1 a cikin Manyan Shirye-shirye 100 na TV Guide na Duk Lokaci.
Hakika, kowace ƙwarewar rayuwa mai ban dariya a waɗannan shekarun farko za ta sami hanyarta cikin wani shirin barkwanci na David. Gaggawar rubutu da saninmu game da girman da ke zuwa suna tabbatar da tarihin rayuwar Harris yana tafiya kamar labarin ban tsoro, amma wanda, maimakon ya nufi wurin laifi, yana kaiwa ga wasu daga cikin mafi girman fasaha na ƙarni da ya gabata. Harris ya tabbatar wa David, wanda ke tsoron ya zama mai girman kai, cewa "zai iya ɓoye a cikin tarihin rayuwarsa," saboda yana haɗa da tattaunawa da mutane ban da shi. Lokacin da ya ji Harris yana magana da abokai da abokan aiki, David ya roƙe shi kada ya "damu da su." Sarah Silverman ta kawar da tsoron marubucin tarihin rayuwa: "Wannan Larry ne sosai. Abin da bai gane ba shine irin farin cikin da yake mana mu yi magana da kai game da shi."
Harris ya kwatanta batunsa a matsayin "sigar da aka tsara ta mai fasaha da dukanmu muke fata mu kasance," mutumin da ya fi damuwa da amincin fasaha fiye da samun kuɗi. A cikin 1980s, tun kafin shahara da arziki, Larry ya rubuta wasan kwaikwayo mai suna Prognosis: Negative.

Ta hanyar tarihin rayuwar Harris, mun koyi cewa wannan gauraye mai ban mamaki na imani marar girgiza ga iyawarsa da ƙarancin darajar kai ya tsara aikin gwanin barkwanci. A lokacin wasan barkwancinsa, zai fara da wannan ɗan ƙaramin abu: "Kuna kama da masu sauraro masu kyau sosai yau da daddare. Ina mamakin, zan iya amfani da kalmar 'kai' da ku mutane? Domin ina jin kusanci sosai da ku. Kuna da matsala idan na shiga cikin kalmar 'kai'?" A cewar David da kansa, ba ta sami komai ba "kashi 60 zuwa 70% na lokaci." Lokacin da Seinfeld ya tambayi abokin aikinsa na gaba dalilin da ya ci gaba da fara da wani wasan barkwanci da ba ya aiki sau da yawa, amsar a bayyane take: "Ina tsammanin wannan abin dariya ne!
