ZERO GRAVITY - WOODY ALLEN GEBUNDEN

His first new collection of short humor in fifteen years is classic Woody Allen. Zero Gravity
is the fifth collection of comic pieces by Woody Allen  a hilarious prose stylist whose
enduring appeal readers have savored since his classics Getting Even  Without Feathers  Side
Effects  and Mere Anarchy. This new work combines pieces that have appeared in The New Yorker
along with eleven written exclusively for this book  each a comic inspiration. Whether he's
writing about horses that paint  cars that think  the sex lives of celebrities  or how General
Tso's Chicken got its name  he is always totally original  broad yet sophisticated  acutely
observant  and most important  relentlessly funny. Along with titles like Buffalo Wings  Woncha
Come Out Tonight and When Your Hood Ornament Is Nietzsche  included in this collection is his
poignant but very funny short story  Growing Up in Manhattan. Daphne Merkin has written the
foreword. Zero Gravity implies writing not to be taken seriously  but  as with any true humor 
not all the laughs are weightless.
