About this product

Product Information

The long-awaited, enormously entertaining memoir by one of the great artists of our time. In this candid and often hilarious memoir, the celebrated director, comedian, writer, and actor offers a comprehensive, personal look at his tumultuous life. Beginning with his Brooklyn childhood and his stint as a writer for the Sid Caesar variety show in the early days of television, working alongside comedy greats, Allen tells of his difficult early days doing standup before he achieved recognition and success. With his unique storytelling pizzazz, he recounts his departure into moviemaking, with such slapstick comedies as Take the Money and Run , and revisits his entire, sixty-year-long, and enormously productive career as a writer and director, from his classics Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Annie and Her Sisters to his most recent films, including Midnight in Paris . Along the way, he discusses his marriages, his romances and famous friendships, his jazz playing, and his books and plays. We learn about his demons, his mistakes, his successes, and those he loved, worked with, and learned from in equal measure. This is a hugely entertaining, deeply honest, rich and brilliant self-portrait of a celebrated artist who is ranked among the greatest filmmakers of our time.

Reviews
"A lively tale of growing up lower-middle-class in Brooklyn; a gossipy account of scrambling up the comedy ladder from tabloid gag writer to Oscar winner . . . this memoir is for the most part a pleasure to read and entertaining company . . . you'd have to be a real sourpuss not to laugh at the fusillade of one-liners, two-liners, three-liners and so on." --Peter Biskind, Los Angeles Times "He has an authentic and easygoing voice on the page." -- New York Times "An absolute delight, hilarious and endearing and glistening with stardust." -- National Review "Master, from youth, at self-deprecating humor, and born with New York City cojones , Allen says what others just think, controversy be damned." - New York Journal of Books "It was a laugh a minute..." - Newark Star-Ledger "His wit is on full display." - The Federalist "A brisk, vivid, and extremely funny account.." - Commentary Magazine "Allen's style is gossipy and spry." - The Guardian "Brilliant." - Deadline "it's a fantastic book, so funny. . . . You feel like you're in the room with him and yeah, it's just a great book and it's hard to walk away after reading that book thinking that this guy did anything wrong."--Larry David "If you love Woody Allen, you'll love the book."--Sam Wasson, Air Mail

    Even the Dedication in This book Made Me Laugh

    This is a real treat for Woody Allen fans. I'm only on page 13 and I already laughed out loud a few times! Woody Allen has given us a great deal of joyful entertainment over the years so I'm surprised when I read negative reviews implying that he shouldn't have written this book at all or that the timing was wrong or some other such other nonsense. It's a fun book and I highly recommend it.
