WOODY ALLEN: A BIOGRAPHY by Eric Lax /MOVIES/HUMOR/1st

Here for your delectation is theSPECTACULAR & RARE--------------------WOODY ALLEN: A BIOGRAPHY by Eric Lax.This affectionate biography of Woody Allen is the best account of his life you can buy. Eric Lax, a longtime friend of Allen's, does not recite Allen's story by chronological rote. Instead, he begins in the present day and digresses from it to past events. The result is an anecdotal account that manages to give all the details of Allen's development as an artist and a man while remaining consistently entertaining, enlightening, and funny.A feast for fans, this biography leans heavily on Woody Allen's own comments, interwoven verbatim with a shrewd, disarming portrait of an artist who feels "enormously alienated from other people." Lax ( On Being Funny: Woody Allen and Comedy ) is especially good on Allen's early years as New York University film school flunk-out, his transformation from stand-up comic to director, his influences (Mort Sahl, Camus, Odets, S. J. Perelman, et al.) and the recycling of his personal life into specific films. Devotees will enjoy the behind-the-scenes glimpses of movies being written and shot.This is the hardcover statedKnopf First Edition from 1991.Both the djand the book are in excellent condition.
