Summary
Gravedad cero， colección de relatos de Woody Allen， reúne diecinueve narraciones inéditas escritas con una prosa desternillante， un humor a prueba de escépticos y una inimitable habilidad para mezclar la cultura popular con su habitual pedantería。
Con la ciudad de Nueva York como escenario de sus enredos， ya escriba sobre caballos que pintan， autos que piensan， la vida sexual de las celebridades， los inconvenientes de asistir con tu pareja a una orgía o la injusticia de reencarnarse en langosta， el humor de Woody Allen siempre es original y transgresor， popular y sofisticado al mismo tiempo， políticamente incorrecto， agudamente observador y， lo más importante， implacablemente divertido。
Con este nuevo volumen de relatos， en el que nunca queda claro si se está burlando de sí mismo o más bien de toda la humanidad， Woody Allen se confirma como el último gran humorista de la tradición iniciada por Groucho Marx， S。 J。 Perelman y Lenny Bruce。
En el breve prólogo que introduce el libro， la escritora y periodista Daphne Merkin repasa la trayectoria narrativa de Woody Allen y las claves de su efectivo sentido del humor。

Due stelle perché ho amato “A proposito di niente” altrimenti sarebbe stata una。 Dovrei rileggerlo per capirlo e non basterebbe。。 slegato， confusionario。。 più che zero gravity per me è zero sense。

Really didn’t enjoy this collection。 There’s a breathlessly overwritten feeling to it that just wearied me throughout。 I thought it was merely the voice of a particular narrator， but no; it’s just how the whole thing is written even despite who the narrator is。

Un libro geniale， dove si sente tutta la voce di Woody Allen。 Racconti utopici， alcune volte deliranti， spesso divertenti， quasi sempre con una morale di sottofondo。 Il racconto finale è nettamente il migliore， ma sono tutti belli。 Allen ha una capacità di analizzare e capire le emozioni umane che non è cosa comune。

Woody still has his early 70s sense of humour - a good thing！ The last （and longest） story was the least funny; more autobiographical。Several reviewers complain about the fancy vocabulary sprinkled throughout; I believe that's part of the gag！ Woody still has his early 70s sense of humour - a good thing！ The last （and longest） story was the least funny; more autobiographical。Several reviewers complain about the fancy vocabulary sprinkled throughout; I believe that's part of the gag！ 。。。more

I loved it。 All the stories were entertaining and very funny， they all have the same ideas and themes found in Allen’s movies that relate to relationships， love， death， and a whole lot of nihilism。 The themes & ideas are repetitive but they never become boring， the humor & wit of his writing keeps the stories enjoyable。There were a couple of stories similar to storylines from his movies， and one had the exact story of A Rainy Day in New York， yet even though I’ve seen the movies， I still enjoyed I loved it。 All the stories were entertaining and very funny， they all have the same ideas and themes found in Allen’s movies that relate to relationships， love， death， and a whole lot of nihilism。 The themes & ideas are repetitive but they never become boring， the humor & wit of his writing keeps the stories enjoyable。There were a couple of stories similar to storylines from his movies， and one had the exact story of A Rainy Day in New York， yet even though I’ve seen the movies， I still enjoyed them very much。A nice funny read。 。。。more

It has been fifteen years since Allen’s last collection of short comic pieces， Mere Anarchy， which itself ended a twenty-seven-year wait since 1980’s Side Effects。 In between time， of course， Allen has made a movie a year， regularly played his clarinet with his jazz band and written numerous contributions for the New Yorker magazine， some of which appear in this collection。 The material here， therefore， dates back as far as 2008。 With one exception （the closing short story “Growing Up in Manhatt It has been fifteen years since Allen’s last collection of short comic pieces， Mere Anarchy， which itself ended a twenty-seven-year wait since 1980’s Side Effects。 In between time， of course， Allen has made a movie a year， regularly played his clarinet with his jazz band and written numerous contributions for the New Yorker magazine， some of which appear in this collection。 The material here， therefore， dates back as far as 2008。 With one exception （the closing short story “Growing Up in Manhattan”）， this is a familiar string of absurdist humour offering Allen’s unique view on the quirks of life。 There is much to enjoy in his witty observations and his ability to turn the bizarre into the surreal – from horses that paint to murderous cows。 Allen’s humour is not for everyone， but those on his wavelength will find a laugh in almost every sentence。 It is therefore strange that he finishes the collection with “Growing Up in Manhattan，” a 55-page romantic comedy that could have been an outline for a proposed movie。 The story is more grounded and nostalgic and explores Allen’s favourite theme of the mechanics of relationships。 The tone jars with the rest of the book in that it is semi-serious and the story’s only absurdity is in the way in which it is wrapped up， which feels distinctly contrived to make a point。 This is not a book to be read in one sitting， but one to be explored piece by piece to be fully appreciated。 Allen is a comic genius who in his late 80s can still touch your funny bone – and that is a testament to his talent and longevity。 。。。more

Una raccolta di pezzi dell'autore forse meno divertente delle opere precedenti ma che val la pena di leggere， soprattutto per il gran finale。 Una raccolta di pezzi dell'autore forse meno divertente delle opere precedenti ma che val la pena di leggere， soprattutto per il gran finale。 。。。more

Che Woody Allen sia una mente fine e un colto umorista non è una novità。 Nei suoi lavori （che si tratti di cinema o di prosa） viene sempre fuori qualcosa di autobiografico， ma forse ancor più nei suoi libri che nei suoi lavori cinematografici la ridda di personaggi surreali è spesso travolgente。 Ecco， spesso， non sempre。 In questo ultimo suo lavoro， non tutti i racconti brevi sono davvero incisivi， ma arrivare fino all'ultimo， l'unico lungo， ripaga anche di alcune storielle che personalmente non Che Woody Allen sia una mente fine e un colto umorista non è una novità。 Nei suoi lavori （che si tratti di cinema o di prosa） viene sempre fuori qualcosa di autobiografico， ma forse ancor più nei suoi libri che nei suoi lavori cinematografici la ridda di personaggi surreali è spesso travolgente。 Ecco， spesso， non sempre。 In questo ultimo suo lavoro， non tutti i racconti brevi sono davvero incisivi， ma arrivare fino all'ultimo， l'unico lungo， ripaga anche di alcune storielle che personalmente non mi hanno detto molto。 "Crescere a Manhattan" è una piccola perla alleniana， che， letta con la voce narrante dell'autore， ti trasporta proprio in quello spaccato newyorkese in cui Woody non conosce rivali。 。。。more

I often am an advocate for separating the art from thr artist。 However， because Woody Allen is a pedophile who molested his stepdaughter and then became buddy buddy with notorious child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein （and as such most likely molested several children） I refuse to do that。 I was suggested to give Woody Allen's shitty little book a try since he's apparently quite the witty person。 The person who suggested that is wrong。 Not only is Woody Allen a greasy， hunched over little goblin， he' I often am an advocate for separating the art from thr artist。 However， because Woody Allen is a pedophile who molested his stepdaughter and then became buddy buddy with notorious child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein （and as such most likely molested several children） I refuse to do that。 I was suggested to give Woody Allen's shitty little book a try since he's apparently quite the witty person。 The person who suggested that is wrong。 Not only is Woody Allen a greasy， hunched over little goblin， he's also an obnoxious bore who's comedy is more about how educated he is。 Maybe he should educate himself on what the age of consent in this country is。 。。。more

Woody Allen’s new book of comic fiction has an unusual highlight。 A Woodyish character watches as his plane haplessly crashes in the Himalayas。 There， an aborigine hands him a cushion and recounts the sad tale of the My Pillow Guy。 He tells Woody to take the cushion to the UN and use the story to create world peace。 Woody goes to the podium， recounts the life story of Mike Liddell， and is promptly 5150’d。 （Needless to note， I guess， that this was written way before January 6， 2021。）Another stand Woody Allen’s new book of comic fiction has an unusual highlight。 A Woodyish character watches as his plane haplessly crashes in the Himalayas。 There， an aborigine hands him a cushion and recounts the sad tale of the My Pillow Guy。 He tells Woody to take the cushion to the UN and use the story to create world peace。 Woody goes to the podium， recounts the life story of Mike Liddell， and is promptly 5150’d。 （Needless to note， I guess， that this was written way before January 6， 2021。）Another standout is the finale， a sustained almost-novella in which Woody revisits all the major elements of his love story。 How it ends is ANNIE HALLish， but also， oddly， EYES WIDE SHUT-ish。 This brings up the central delight of ZERO GRAVITY。 Though Woody clearly thinks he is S。J。 Perelman， he is more Thomas Pynchon—readers of a certain age will have SLOW LEARNER vibes throughout。 That is to say that his emphasis on cartoonish ten-dollar words and silly names has the quality of opening up an alternate universe。 There is not so much a compulsive one-liner dropper here as a man in thrall to Ezra Pound’s command to make it strange—coming to a head in the tale of three Jewish “honorable men” who find themselves reincarnated in a restaurant lobster take， about to be eaten by Bernie Madoff: a reminder， as in BLUE JASMINE， that when Woody wants to speak to the moment he does so perfectly。 。。。more

mehI’ve read everything Woody’s written and seen all but a handful of his movies and this is just average。 Filled with literate references and so many $10 words that you’ll feel inadequate， but you will also smile a few times。

Raccolta di racconti pubblicati alcuni già sulla rivista New Yorker， molti divertententissimi e comunque in tutti lo standart è sempre gradevole， le battute che fanno più repertorio sono quelle in cui la tecnica della iperbole e dell'autoironia ricorda il migliore Allen cinematografico。 "Non puoi tornare a casa， e ti spiego perché"， " Park avenue piano alto" e " Quasi Rembrandt" in cui emergono le ironie sarcastiche su un certo mondo del cinema e della cosiddetta arte contemporanea sono molto di Raccolta di racconti pubblicati alcuni già sulla rivista New Yorker， molti divertententissimi e comunque in tutti lo standart è sempre gradevole， le battute che fanno più repertorio sono quelle in cui la tecnica della iperbole e dell'autoironia ricorda il migliore Allen cinematografico。 "Non puoi tornare a casa， e ti spiego perché"， " Park avenue piano alto" e " Quasi Rembrandt" in cui emergono le ironie sarcastiche su un certo mondo del cinema e della cosiddetta arte contemporanea sono molto divertenti， da segnalare il racconto lungo " Crescere a Manhattan"， un paradigma newyorkese del cinema， della musica， dei locali， dei personaggi che sembrano quelli visti in tanti film dell' autore。 Con un finale a sorpresa e spiazzante。 。。。more

Without Feathers and Getting Even were books I lived growing up。 They led me to Perelman， Benchley， Schulman and Thurber。 I don’t know if his work got tired or if I’m tired of it。 There are still a few laughs， though。

If you enjoy the humor pieces found in The New Yorker， you are a perfect candidate for reading Woody Allen's Zero Gravity！ There are 18 short stories and one longer novella in the 191 pages。 The stories cover everything from a horse who paints， a self-aware car （one of my favorite pieces）， the back story for the name of General Tso's Chicken， medical mishaps， and the strange happenings of city life。 This title is perfect for leaving around where a person could pick it up and reading one or two t If you enjoy the humor pieces found in The New Yorker， you are a perfect candidate for reading Woody Allen's Zero Gravity！ There are 18 short stories and one longer novella in the 191 pages。 The stories cover everything from a horse who paints， a self-aware car （one of my favorite pieces）， the back story for the name of General Tso's Chicken， medical mishaps， and the strange happenings of city life。 This title is perfect for leaving around where a person could pick it up and reading one or two tales to pass the time。 I appreciate Skyhorse Publishing for providing me a copy of this title。 。。。more

Allen provides us with 19 stories。 18 of these are “of a type” that use wild， descriptive character names and focus on wordplay， and are all around ten pages， give or take。 These also are full of not-so-subtle references to the kinds of information covered in 300 level or higher liberal arts courses in college， as well as recent issues of People magazine。 Hopefully you’ve been paying attention。 The final story is quite a bit longer， has characters with normal， forgettable names， and feels a bit Allen provides us with 19 stories。 18 of these are “of a type” that use wild， descriptive character names and focus on wordplay， and are all around ten pages， give or take。 These also are full of not-so-subtle references to the kinds of information covered in 300 level or higher liberal arts courses in college， as well as recent issues of People magazine。 Hopefully you’ve been paying attention。 The final story is quite a bit longer， has characters with normal， forgettable names， and feels a bit lower key， less manic。 I found this the best of the bunch。 With the shorter stories Allen is showing us his cleverness。 In the final story， “Growing Up in Manhattan”， he’s showing us his storytelling ability， and I find that was the most memorable story in the collection。 Overall， I found a little goes a long way。 If I ran across one of these shorter stories， say in a magazine with a variety of other stories and types of writing， I’d like it quite a bit。 But reading a book’s worth in a row became more of a chore the farther you went。 I won this book in some internet contest， but that didn't impact my review。 。。。more

A parte qualche sporadico guizzo di comicità， siamo ben lontani dal genio di “Saperla Lunga”， “Citarsi Addosso” ed “Effetti Collaterali”。

There's much to like in this collection， Allen's first in fifteen years。 Allen's ear for dialogue and eye for the absurd have not diminished in these 19 pieces， more than half of them never seen before。 As in much of his previous work， Allen is channeling the voice （and exhaustive vocabulary） of S。 J Perelman; the sole exception， and the book's longest piece， is "Growing Up in Manhattan"， a wistful （and autobiographical） story about a young man who learns that you can achieve a dream and still b There's much to like in this collection， Allen's first in fifteen years。 Allen's ear for dialogue and eye for the absurd have not diminished in these 19 pieces， more than half of them never seen before。 As in much of his previous work， Allen is channeling the voice （and exhaustive vocabulary） of S。 J Perelman; the sole exception， and the book's longest piece， is "Growing Up in Manhattan"， a wistful （and autobiographical） story about a young man who learns that you can achieve a dream and still be unsatisfied。 。。。more
