Woody Allen a Biography Author:Eric Lax A biography of the American comedy writer, actor and film-maker, Woody Allen. During the course of 20 years, backstage, on the set, in the editing room and at home, the author spent much time with his subject, discussing his work, career and life.
Allen is a pain in the butt sometimes, pushing his character shtick too far, but nobody makes movies like he does. His feel for New York life is dead-on, and his characters are more human than anybody else in movies.
And finally, who is as original as Woody? This book was a tremendous example of boigraphy at it's best.
