Description I am greatly relieved that the universe is finally explainable I was beginning to think it was me Woody AllenHere, in his first collection since his three hilarious classics Getting Even, Without Feathers, and Side Effects, Woody Allen has managed to write a book that not only answers the most profound questions of human existence but is the perfect size to place under any short table leg to prevent wobbling I awoke Friday, and because the universe is expanding it took me longer than [...]

Imagine being in an elevator with Woody Allen for three minutes, and he tells you a funny anecdote about buying a pair of pants You d find him witty and hysterical and you d laugh out loud as you walk out of the elevator OK, now imagine instead of three minutes it s three days in an elevator with Woody Allen, who doesn t stop talking for three whole days, and in those three days, he s still talking about just buying pants At some point, you d probably turn to him and say Enough with the pants al [...]

I think to get all the jokes you need a street map of Manhattan and then a dictionary of obscure little used words to get the punch lines This book is for those considering becoming criminally insane.

For a long time, Woody Allen has been one of my favorite movie directors His movies, which many times show the absurdism of the life of normal people, have fascinated me and they are one reason why I have decided to seek an education in film Browsing the database of the local library I found this collection stories by Woody Allen and decided to give it a try And I am so happy I did so, because these stories fascinated me so much with their absurdism Allen truly is a creative genius who can make [...]

In the 1970s Woody Allen wrote short humorous pieces that often appeared in The New Yorker These pieces were collected into three acclaimed volumes, Getting Even 1971 , Without Feathers 1975 , and Side Effects 1980 For many years after that, he didn t publish any short pieces, only his screenplays However, at some point in the 1990s, he began to once write these short comic pieces These have now been collected into a volume published this year, Mere Anarchy Having just finished it, the sketches [...]

Woody Allen has a tap in his head When he turns the tap on, out pour gags Complex sentences setting up simple jokes, by the thousand You might have read Getting Even, Without Feathers or Side Effects They are books where Woody takes a single, silly premise, gets all Noo Yoik on its ass, via a few pages of first person narration and a metronomic set up punchline rhythm so exacting it s like a Drill Sergeant in clown shoes is shouting at Woody as he types.Well Woody hasn t marched this yard since [...]

Eres de Woody Allen Pues no mucho Con este libro, lo ser s.Bueno, discrepo con mi amigo invisible y sus sentencias lapidarias este libro fue un regalo navide o.Cuando ten a trece y catorce a os me encantaba Woody Allen Pelis como La ltima noche de Boris Grushenko y El dormil n las densas no las conoc a Le Como Acabar De Una Vez Por Todas Con LA Cultura Getting Even, y Without Feathers, que me descubri a Emily Dickinson Apelaban a mi necesidad adolescente de tener frases sarc sticas para cualquie [...]

Though I typically remember how I come into the possession of a book, I cannot for the life of me remember how I came to own Woody Allen s Mere Anarchy It isn t surprising for me to have a Woody Allen book on my bookshelf I actually have another I remember getting I happen to like the man in a purely artistic way I just don t remember buying or receiving Mere Anarchy as a gift Regardless of the unsolved mystery, I had Woody Allen on the brain recently because I had read Diane Keaton s semi memoi [...]

As I read this book I told myself, I am as big a fan of synonyms as the next bibliophile but c mon Here is an example of that which I speak, a quincunx of loyal minions scurried forward a salivating lycanthrope This one I had to admit was funny, my son from a previous connubial holocaust quincunx five objects lycanthrope werewolfSo, at times, it was funny but most of the time it was tenebrous, obtuse and pedantic.

Absurdist humour completely bonkers Nothing for me Dumped after 20 pages.

Some were quite good, some less so, but every story was distinctly Woody Allen, and that isn t necessarily a good thing While there were flashes of absolute hilarity, after a while it all starts to feel like the same joke Maybe I m just not neurotic enough hah.

I m starting to finally realize that compilations of a single writers columns are just not for me Reading one column here or there might be alright, even entertaining and thus worth those few minutes I ve spent on the thing But compilations, oh god, compilations It becomes painfully obvious the writer s created a persona for writing these things, and what makes it the worst is how that persona is exceedingly limited Compilations really bring out the formulaic nature of an individual s columns Th [...]

Woody Allenin novellikokoelma on suomentanut Juhani Loponen Pelkk anarkiaa , ja kirja koostuu nimens mukaisesti melko absurdeista tai yll tyksellisist 19 kertomuksesta 169 sivua.Suurin osa n ist anarkistisista novelleista sijoittuu New Yorkiin, ja aiheina on aika usein jokin lehtijuttu tai jollekin julkkikselle sattunut tapahtuma tai kommellus.Kokoelmana kirja on aika ep tasainen Muutamien t ytenovellien lis ksi siin on poskettoman hauskoja ja tragikoomisia kertomuksia Jos lukija jaksaa kahlata [...]

This is a collection of stand alone individual vignettes that have been compiled in a pick me up and put me down anytime book In this volume Woody continues to be witty and clever, offering us twenty eight absurd and quirky tales some of which have been inspired from real life news or events Only a man like Woody Allen could create these original stories from his imagination Who else would think about auctioning off prayers on eBay Or going to a tailor to order a suit that can recharge your cell [...]

The jacket calls this a book that not only manages to answer the profound questions of human existence but is also the perfect size to place under any short table leg to prevent wobbling After completing the book, I d agree with the second part of the statement The book does not aspire to do than entertain, and that is notoriously a matter of taste.The best part is his word smithing, which includes such gems as connubial holocaust for divorce p 7 and a translation of the American aphorism rags [...]

I wanna preface a nasty review with this I love me some Woody Allenlms I ll take Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters, even new offerings like Match Point and Vicky Christina Barcelona any day But we all know that sometimes dear ole Woody takes a misstep Curse of the Jade Scorpion Getting with the stepdaughter Yes, indeed, this collection of short stories was a disaster on that level Ok, ok, I did like one thing about the stories they were very short The characters, events, and language [...]

Just as hilarious as The complete though the average reader will need a dictionary to get through this one With words like panatela used to describe a cigar you ve got some work to do before you can get to the humor , which works out well if you can t stop laughing at his jokes which run unabated line after line, consistently.A master of satire, I think his talent lies in the way he turns his sentences subtly taking them one way, when they start out seemingly heading some place else Like this on [...]

Mere Anarchy More like sheer agony I love Woody Allen s humour I have often been accused of being a London born version of the New York comedy rabbi It s the horn rim glasses,unruly mop of reddish hair chronic logorrhoea verbal diarrhoea The oxygen seizing verbiage badinage in its witty relentlessness is over powering peoples heads swim with faintlessness Someone stop him ease women go into premature orgasms with its ticklish pruriencens fists curl up in preparation for an upper cut to the whirr [...]

A huge, huge disapointment for me I love Woody Allens movies, I liked his short story collection Side Effects so I took this book from the library Luckily for me, I didn t bought it because it would be waste of money, like reading this book is waste of time I m sure you wonder Is this book really THAT bad And yes, it is First and most important THIS ISN T FUNNY AT ALL When you start reading collection that is advertised as humorous than you assume it contains some humorous stories And in Side Ef [...]

The stories within Mere Anarchy showcase the author s gifts for witticisms and clever puns eighteen five to ten pagers, most of which originally appeared in The New Yorker.I re read many lines and jokes as I made my way through the brief 175 page collection Very familiar with Woody Allen s films, I m ashamed to say I d never looked much into his prose Some of the story setups a man who has difficulty with his newly learned levitation skill a movie star double kidnapped by extremists who buy into [...]

This collection of short stories by Woddy Allen started out great with a story about levitation that made me laugh out loud It was so funny in its unexpected and clever way and I really enjoyed it The writing was clever in the second and third stories, but I was getting tired of the style After that, I realized that I wasn t having fun any Woody Allen proved his clear superiority in the vocabulary department After trying unsuccessfully to find several of his words in the dictionary and discoveri [...]

2 stars This was ok but not as funny as I expected.I had a few chuckles but no laugh out louds Sometimes my mind wandered I like his weird mind Woody Allen has a strange relationship with food Several times he mentioned something odd with food Many of the vignettes did not have endings He just sort of stopped.Woody Allen narrated this It was better than his narration of some of his earlier works In those he spoke too fast, not pausing enough for ideas to settle and for a laugh.DATA Unabridged au [...]

me lleg a cansar la repetici n con que culmina y o juega con la trama.el uso de lo absurdo es el eje primordial pura anarqu a mi gran decepci n fue cuando pasaron tres cuentos que estaban poniendo en duda el rating que iba a darle de dos a tres estrellas cuando regresa y emplea bromas mis ginasn las buenas ideas con las que jugaba y luego acaba empleando comentarios mis ginos, agh as comi zaratustra fue uno de mis favoritos por c mo jug con las aportaciones filos ficas de diferentes fil sofos en [...]

I didn t really like this collection of stories Overall I felt they were very similar the pacing was mostly the same frantic , and they all had the exact same aura of oddball ridiculousness Lots of show biz patter from the characters, and every single one had some preposterous name The ridiculous was laid on too thick for my taste, and that meant that some truly funny lines just didn t shine because they were surrounded by so much nonsense But if you like stuff that s over the top, you ll probab [...]

Allen , .

Un libro que me ha hecho re r y sonre r Los cuentos que posee sta recopilaci n son joyas de la ir nica realidad Cuentos llenos de incautos que ponen su destino en manos de lobos feroces M s de uno se sentir en sinton a con estos cuentos Son una joyita Mi cuento preferido Tira muy fuerte de la cuerda O algo as.

Me encant , he reido tan fuerte que en mi trabajo creyeron que estaba loco Los cuentos son breves, sencillos y bastante cargados de humor con tintes intelectualoides Fue como leer el gui n de varios sketches No cabe duda que Woody Allen es una inspiraci n para quien desee escribir o hacer s ndwiches.

This was not great I skimmed it and I love his screenplays The humor was pedantic and common Like he put all the big words he never gets to use in his movies into a fish bowl and drew them one by one at random and then created a story around the vocabulary and not the plot.Reminds me of that Family Guy episode with the manatees
