The Enormously Entertaining Memoir by One of the Great Artists of
Our Time-Now a New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and
Publishers 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 Hannah 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 the hugely entertaining, deeply honest, rich
and brilliant self-portrait of a celebrated artist who is ranked
among the greatest filmmakers of our time.
