Not many know that Woody Allen is a writer of utter cleverness and humour, apart from his exceptional cult movies. Complete Prose is a collection of 52 pieces of his writings that bring his less-known skills as a comedian, thinker, and sometimes a philosopher too. Summary of the Book The fifty-two articles of cheerfulness, deadpan strangeness, and some really bizarre ideas in this book will keep you gripped until the very end. Why does Woody admire Socrates? What happened when Hitler went for a haircut? Ever given a thought what would have happened if the Impressionists were actually dentists? You will get outlandish insights into history as a piece on the invention of sandwiches will prove to be eye-opening! This is an off the cuff anthology of Allen’s witty stories that satirise modern society and archetypal contemporary literature. About Woody Allen Allan Stewart Konigsberg a.k.a.
