adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Having thoroughly enjoyed his two other collections, Getting Even disappointed me. Some of the pieces have funny, even hilarious, bits in them, but this is written at a time when Woody Allen derived his humor mostly from intellectual life, and a lot of the humor just isn't funny anymore - if it ever was. Too bad. (  ) petterw | Oct 8, 2009 |  Getting Even: If your a fan of Allen's work than you'll enjoy this book. Otherwise you may not like it. If you're not familiar with his work than I highly recommend his prose for their witty, bizzare, and humorus content. In, "The Gossage-Vardebedian Papers," you'll find humor in the trials and tribulations of chess, via letter writing. In, "Mr. Big," I question if the beautiful existentialist really killed God. Yeah, she probably did. (GOD that's too bad.) awkward, funny, weird, smart, read... iayork | Aug 9, 2009 | Qui c'è l'Allen di "Amore e Guerra", del "Dormiglione", di "Io e Annie". Non serve dire altro secondo me. Genio autentico e nemmeno troppo storpiato dalla traduzione. Ottima prefazione di Umberto Eco (  ) federico.bitti | Aug 13, 2008 | Qui c'è l'Allen di "Amore e Guerra", del "Dormiglione", di "Io e Annie". Non serve dire altro secondo me.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0394726405, Mass Market Paperback)After three decades of prodigious film work (and some unfortunate tabloid adventures as well), it's easy to forget that Woody Allen began his career as one heck of a great comedy writer. Getting Even, a collection of his late '60s magazine pieces, offers a look into Allen's bag of shtick, back when it was new. From the supposed memoirs of Hitler's barber: "Then, in January of 1945, a plot by several generals to shave Hitler's moustache in his sleep failed when von Stauffenberg, in the darkness of Hitler's bedroom, shaved off one of the Führer's eyebrows instead..."Even though the idea of writing jokes about old Adolf--or addled rabbis, or Maatjes herring--isn't nearly as fresh as it used to be, Getting Even still delivers plenty of laughs. At his best, Woody can achieve a level of transcendent craziness that no other writer can match. If you're looking for a book to dip into at random, or a gift for someone who's seen Sleeper 13 times, Getting Even is a dead lock.
