Book Description

A winning combination of touching personal memories and reflections, anecdotes about the writing life, and hilarious stories about some of the biggest names in the entertainment business, "Rewrites" is "one wonderful read" (Larry King, USA Today). His plays and movies have kept us laughing for four decades, but even more than the humor, it is the humanity of Neil Simon's vision that has made him America's most-loved playwright. Now, the author of such hilarious and heartwarming plays as Barefoot in the Park, The Odd Couple, Plaza Suite, and The Goodbye Girl gives readers his memoir—a funny, touching biography filled with the details of his writing life and rich with the experiences that underlie his work.
