This is the first sustained critical collection on Albert Brooks,
one of the key but under-examined figures in American stand-up,
television comedy and Hollywood film comedy. Analysing every film
written and directed by Albert Brooks, including Real Life (1979),
Modern Romance (1981) and Lost in America (1985), as well as a
number of his acting and voice-over roles, his stand-up comedy
albums, talk show appearances and writing, the book argues that
Albert Brooks not only merits a wider viewership, both critical and
popular, but also that his career offers a useful lens through
which to understand American film and culture since the late 1960s.
