Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

It makes sense that Groucho, master of the wise crack, a man who kept company with S.J. Perelman and George S. Kaufman, should be a wonderful author in his own right, but you won't know how wonderful unless you have this book. Its editor, Robert S. Bader, has collected the funniest essays, columns and letters that Groucho composed during his long career. Writing with a wit and love of non-sequitur that influenced the young Woody Allen, Groucho also displays real warmth of character in these short pieces, an abiding love of family and of living.

Review

"A Groucho discovery. . .A valuable and very funny compendium." -- Leonard Maltin, Entertainment Tonight

"You can never get too much Groucho, and this book heartily feeds that appetite." --Dick Cavett

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of Groucho, literally!, Oct 11 2000
By E. Q. Taft (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Though best known as a performer, Groucho Marx always cherished the opportunity to express himself in writing. Robert S. Bader has collected a large number of his short works -- some of them autobiographical, others comic essays and letters -- most of which have never been published before in book form. Unlike the recent collection "The Essential Groucho," by Stefan Kanfer, which contained excerpts from Marx Brothers plays, films, and television shows, all the pieces collected here were written by Groucho himself (or were they? Bader's long, well-written introduction discusses the contributions of Groucho's silent collaborator, Arthur Sheekman). Not every one is a gem, but on the whole the collection is delightful. A "must" addition to any Marx collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as funny as the Groucho Letters..., April 30 2000
By The Reluctant Critic (Orlando, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
A lot of the material in this book shows up in many of Groucho's other books, but the new material is very entertaining. Not quite as funny as the Groucho Letters, but a must for any Groucho fan...
