Book Reviews of The Complete Prose of Woody Allen
Book Review: The Laughmaker
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that this is his best book and I reccomend it to every Woody fan out there, his movies are the best of the comedy buisness, I have seen many of them and think that he has the ability to show reality in his own way. He shows you the relationship between husband and wife like it really is and could happen to anyone, I myself have done a article in my local news paper. I will like to discuss more deeply his works with anyone interested. I can still remember some of his jokes that i think are fabolous like: Mother (to doctor): He's been depressed. All of a sudden , he can't do anything. Doc: Why are you depressed, Alvy? Mother: Tell doctor (?) It's something he rea. Doc: Something you read, heah? Alvy: The universe is expanding. Doc: the universe is expanding? Alvy: Well, the universe is everything, and if it's expanding, someday it will break apart and that would be the end of everything! Mother: (shouting) What is your buisness? (to doctor) He stopped doing his homework. Alvy: what's the point? Mother: what has the universe to dp with it? You're here in Brooklyn! Brooklyn is not expanding! also another joke:I would never wanna belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member. and i have some more, well i think you should read this and other of his books he is a very wise man and he can handle to write anything.
Summary of The Complete Prose of Woody Allen
Born in 1935, Allen Stewart Konigsberg (better known as Woody Allen) is today one of the most influential figures in cinema. He has written and directed such memorable films as Annie Hall and Manhattan, and has acted in over 40 films. He is also the author of three books--Getting Even (1971), Without Feathers (1975), and Side Effects (1980). The Complete Prose of Woody Allen brings these memorable titles together for one bumper collection--a must-have for Allen addicts.Getting Even is a collection of 17 of Allen's magazine pieces from the late 1960s discussing such bizarre topics as the invention of the sandwich, laundry lists, death, obesity, and, of course, rabbis.
Without Feathers delivers more of Allen's New Yorker-style humor. Worthy stand-outs include "If the Impressionists Had Been Dentists," a genius piece that puts oral surgery in a whole new, much more exciting, light.
Finally, Side Effects compiles Allen's best New Yorker essays from the late 1970s. Although not as outrageously funny as his previous books, this is still a classic piece of comedy. --Naomi Gesinger
