Making a film a year, or even two, he considers writing stories to be his true passion. Woody Allen is the author of six humorous books, four of them collections: “Settling Scores” (1971), “Without Feathers” (1975), “Side Effects” (1980) and “Pure Anarchy” (2007). “Without Feathers” - This is an elegant theater of the absurd, where Allen mixes genres and styles, parodying the classics.
