Woody Allen is a writer, director, and actor. He has been a stand-up comedian and a published author. He lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his wife of twenty-two years, Soon-Yi, and their two daughters, Manzie and Bechet. He is an avid jazz enthusiast and devoted sports fan. In his own words, he regrets that he has never made a great film, though he says he is still trying.
"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
