Getting Even is a collection of 17 of Allens magazine pieces from the late 1960s The Complete Prose of Woody Allen is a collection of fifty-two pieces of hilarious writing which firmly establish the author in the tradition of Groucho Marx and James Thurber. Woody Allens prose displays his versatility and virtuosity with the written word, and his special brand of humour. Getting Even is a collection of 17 of Allens magazine pieces from the late 1960s discussing such bizarre topics as the invention of the sandwich, laundry lists, death, obesity, and, of course, rabbis. Without Feathers delivers more of Allens New Yorker -style humor. Worthy stand-outs include If the Impressionists Had Been Dentists, a genius piece that puts oral surgery in a whole new, much more exciting, light. Finally, Side Effects compiles Allens best New Yorker essays from the late 1970s. Although not as outrageously funny as his previous books, this is still a classic piece of comedy. Naomi Gesinger
