But enough with the mind-numbing existential reads.
The yuppies of today probably recognize Woody Allen as the director and screenwriter of Midnight in Paris and Magic in the Moonlight. But Allen began his career as a comedy writer in the 1950s; and The Insanity Defense: The Complete Prose is no let-down with regard to wisecrack humor and gut-busting jokes that leave you with the impression of walking up the stairs to nowhere.
Allen will say one thing, but you’ll never guess what he’s going to say next. The Insanity Defense: The Complete Prose is a collection of essays which seek to explain the most basic of human urges, from killing for food and drink, to bringing a change of underwear to an afterlife you never believed in.
If you’re in the mood for some clever laughs, let The Insanity Defense convince you that you’re just as insane as the rest of us.
