Mere Anarchy

Mere Anarchy

&#39;I am greatly relieved that the universe is finally explainable. I was beginning to think it was me.&#39; Thus begins &#39;Strung Out&#39;, Woody Allen&#39;s hilarious application of the laws of the universe to daily life. Mere Anarchy, Woody Allen&#39;s first collection in over 25 years, features eighteen witty, wild and intelligent comic pieces - eight of which have never been in print before.<br /> <br /> Surreal, absurd, rich in verbal play, bitingly satirical and just plain daft in the mode we have grown to love from his finest films, this flight-of-fancy collection includes tales of a body double who, mistaken for the film&#39;s star, is kidnapped by outlaws; a pretentious novelist forced to work on the novelisation of a Three Stooges film; a nanny secretly writing an expose of her Manhattan employers; crooks selling bespoke prayers on eBay; and how to react when you&#39;re asked to finance a Broadway play about the invention and manufacture of the adjustable showerhead.
