Zero Gravity

By: Woody Allen

Narrated by: Woody Allen

His first new collection of short humor in 15 years is classic Woody Allen.

Zero Gravity is the fifth collection of comic pieces by Woody Allen, a hilarious prose stylist whose enduring appeal has been 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 11 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.

Loved the book but where is the rest of it?

The book is very entertaining but the last story “Growing Up in Manhattan” is missing its first half. Can this be fixed?

Hilarious

No one could narrate this better than Woody Allen himself. I enjoyed every bit of it. Laughed out loud and couldn't take my smile off my face as I listened.

Still the best

Another delightful read from Allen’s short writings. I love listening multiple times to this and his other collections.

Rich with Texture like "lLiving" Dreams,

Loved it. Transending & Culturally Enlightening. I was hooked on the vivid experiences. "Intimate" was the "colour".

Masterful

It's hard but not to hang on each word he says. Right out of the gate on page 1 I'm taken on the thrilling mind of Mr Allen.
