About the Author

Allen's favorite personality-the bemused neurotic, the perpetual worrywart, the born loser-dominates his plays, his movies, and his essays. A native New Yorker, Allen attended local schools and despised them, turning early to essay writing as a way to cope with his Since his apprenticeship, writing mostrar mais gags for comedians such as Sid Caesar and Garry Moore, the image he projects-of a "nebbish from Brooklyn"-has developed into a personal metaphor of life as a concentration camp from which no one escapes alive. Allen wants to be funny, but isn't afraid to be serious either-even at the same time. His film Annie Hall, co-written with Marshall Brickman and winner of four Academy Awards, was a subtle, dramatic development of the contemporary fears and insecurities of American life. In her review of Love and Death, Judith Christ wrote that Allen was more interested in the character rather than the cartoon, the situation rather than the set-up, and the underlying madness rather than the surface craziness. Later Allen films, such as Crimes and Misdemeanors or Husbands and Wives, take on a far more somber and philosophic tone, which has delighted some critics and appalled others. In Allen's essays and fiction reprinted from the New Yorker, Getting Even New Yorker, (1971), Without Feathers (1975), and Side Effects (1980), the situations and characters don't just speak to us, they are us.

Ganska så intressant och bitvis kul läsning. Vet inte riktigt vilket ben jag ska stå på i övergrepps-målet dock. Han beskriver dock sin sida ganska så bra. Tyvärr blir det lite ensidigt när alla skådespelare han jobbat med under årens lopp i princip är helt underbara.

Nota de Pamen en 1ª pág.: 23/4/91 Aunque el andar, no es cosa bonita... disimular...que soy una cojita y si lo soy, lo disimulo bien. Corre, corre, que te pillo, que te doy un puntapié. Pamen. Feria del libro de Pontedeume

On memoir as a kind of "Novel in Retreat." Evidently not very much interested in 'memory' ('memoir' not apropos) as much as displaying interest in the screed — we are further troubled that the author appears more interested in what the screed does than in what the screed is, which he appears to mistake for something he has put on the page and not something already displaced into its second movement (see Bernhard), and not as funny as I would have liked.
