Summary

Now, available in audio for the first time, Side Effects is narrated by Woody Allen himself. A humor classic by one of the world’s funniest writers, Side Effects is a treat for Allen fans and those just discovering how gifted he is. In classics including "Remembering Needleman", "The Kugelmass Episode", "Confessions of a Burglar", and others, Allen discusses such subjects as the nature of relativity, the UFO menace, and the predicament of modern man. Side Effects compiles 17 of Allen’s best New Yorker essays and offers wisdom and laughs in equal measure: "Ah, God, how the mind boggles when it turns to moral or ethical considerations. Better not to think too much. Rely more on the body - the body is more dependable. It shows up for meetings, it looks good in a sports jacket, and where it really comes in handy is when you want to get a rubdown."

Woody Allen’s short story collections Side Effects, Getting Even, Without Feathers, and Mere Anarchy are available separately or together as part of The Woody Allen Collection.

Profile Image for Anthony

Typical Woody - laugh out loud

Unmistakeable Woody Allen - hilariously whining on about the state we're in with a side-chuckle highlighting deeper social and political issues.

Funny as always - leading to an occasional laugh out loud moment...

Who else could compare his brother- in-law to a couple of soft-boiled (or even hard...) eggs and get away with it?

Read / told by Allen himself.
