Features: As a unique comedy film master in the world today, Woody Allen's sense of humor seems to be innate. At the age of 15, he began writing columns for newspapers and even self-penned and performed "single-item crosstalk" for a period. Over the decades since then, he has indulged in his humor, crafting jokes and funny stories, writing essays, novels, and scripts, and filmmaking has brought him fame and success. Allen's humor carries a distinct New York intellectual style. He plays with the world in absurd and witty ways: subverting traditional values, parodying classic texts, and mercilessly mocking various trendy academic theories and methods. He seems to always oppose intellectuals, yet behind those neurotic, self-absorbed, and suspiciously funny personas, there is clearly a reflection of himself—Woody Allen is a master of transformation, never forgetting to pluck his own feathers and laugh at himself. This is the wisdom of his humor, and for this reason, the self-assured French call him the only intellectual in the American film industry. Mensa's Whores collects articles he has published in various publications. "The story may take place in a night club in the 1940s or in the modern era—no matter how it is, I can live in the world I construct for 10 months." Readers who love Woody Allen's films will discover his strange literary talent in this book, allowing them to better understand how delightful yet tragic his slightly loose-screw world is.
