The Illustrated Woody Allen Reader

The Illustrated Woody Allen Reader

by WoodyAllen (Author), Linda Sunshine (Author)

Synopsis

THE ILLUSTRATED WOODY ALLEN READER gathers together excerpts from Woody Allen's best work. Included here are original pieces; monologues which have never been transcribed, let alone published; excerpts from 18 unpublished screenplays; dialogue that became film outtakes: magazine pieces which have never appeared in book form; interviews. Certain themes and ideas emerge, hence the (partial) contents: My Parent's Values; God and Carpeting; Intellectuals Only Kill Their Own; New York vs Los Angeles; These Modern Analysts!; My Philosophy; The Thing with Feathers; I Am To With Nature; Religion: To God I'm the Loyal Opposition. Brilliant material presented in a fresh and innovative format, including some never before published stills of the shooting of every film since ANNIE HALL; Portraits by Mary Ellen Mark, Phillipe Halsman, Jill Freedman; colour painting by Van Gogh, Picasso, Munch, Ernst, O'Keeffe, Klee, Chagall, Cezanne (all of whose work Allen evokes).
