1975, possibly first paperback edition, from Random House
Woody Allen
Without Feathers
Original price unknown, purchase price $5.50
Worn paperback
C
Weak follow-up to Getting Even. Some of the content is mildly clever, like the title that plays off an Emily Dickinson quote about hope. But generally forgettable, except for the line about the Russian Revolution, "which simmered for years and suddenly erupted when the serfs finally realized that the Czar and the Tsar were the same person." I might've given the book a C+, but I got tired of jokes about rape and prostitution. Contains two plays, one of which he would adapt into the movie Shadows and Fog (1991).
