The Complete Prose of Woody Allen is a collection of fifty-two pieces of hilarious writing which firmly establish the author in the tradition of Groucho Marx and James Thurber. Woody Allen's prose displays his versatility and virtuosity with the written word, and his special brand of humour.

"If Allen had lived in Augustan England scholars would now be considering him alongside Dryden, Pope and Swift ... No five hundred page book ever contained a laugh a line, but his one gets pretty close." --- Daily Telegraph

"Touched by genius, Allen's talent is for feasting on the fantasies of his favourite writers. Nature, he says, is one vast restaurant. The same could be said of his most appetising art." --- Glasgow Herald

"Unless you agree that Woody Allen is one of the world's funniest writers, it is difficult to explain why you should exert every effort necessary to get hold of this book. All right, who's funnier?" --- Irish Times

"The Complete Prose is an ideal bedside companion, to be dipped into for quick hits of enjoyment." --- Will Self, London Review of Books

brilliant in its own way

so not funny

是本合集，虽然其中一半已经读过，但在奥地利的小英文书店实在找不到什么可读的， 还是收了。

美式无厘头
