Memoirs Of A Mangy Lover [Paperback]

InMemoirs of a Mangy LoverGroucho turns his manic eyebrows and spirited cigar to the ever-perplexing affairs of the heart while fully addressing the Marxian passion for poker. This wacky eclectic book includes Groucho's improbable tales of true romance; his irreverent observations on talent, luck, and what this country really needs; his battles with pigeons and hotel detectives; an account of a blind date who knew a comedy when she saw it (even if it wasDeath of a Salesman); the reason for Harpo's silence; Groucho's unnatural history of love, which traces its unruly evolution from amoeba to alimony; his view on polygamy (and how to attain it); the stunning parallels between Groucho and Lawrence of Arabia; and, of course, plenty of blondes, brunettes, and redheads. So why buy a duck, when instead you can own theMemoirs of a Many Lover?As a member of the Marx Brothers, Julius (1895-1977), a.k.a.Groucho Marx, enjoyed a sensational career on Broadway and in Hollywood with such comedy classics asAnimal Crackers, Duck Soup, andA Night at the Opera.
