The Illustrated Woody Allen Reader - Tapa dura

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Included here are original pieces; monologues which have never been transcribed, let alone published; excerpts from 18 unpublished screenplays; dialogue that became film outtakes: magazine pieces which have never appeared in book form; interviews.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).
