Mere Anarchy

Here, in his first collection since his three hilarious classics Getting Even, Without Feathers, and Side Effects, Woody Allen has managed to write a book that not only answers the most profound questions of human existence but is also the perfect size to place under any short table leg to prevent wobbling.

In hysterical flights of inspirational sanity we are introduced to a cast of characters only Allen could imagine: Jasper Nutmeat, Flanders Mealworm, and the independent film mogul E. Coli Biggs, just to name a few. Whether he is writing about art, sex, food, or crime, he is explosively funny. In â€œThis Nib for Hire,â€ a Hollywood bigwig comes across an authorâ€™s book in a little country store and describes it in a way that aptly captures this magnificent volume: â€œActually,â€ the producer says, â€œIâ€™d never seen a book remaindered in the kindling section before.â€
