The Long-Awaited, Enormously Entertaining Memoir by One of the
Great Artists of Our Time--Now a New York Times, USA Today, Los
Angeles Times, and Publisher's Weekly Bestseller. 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.
