WHATS WITH BAUM?

Woody Allens wonderful novel reads like one of his films The TelegraphAs a portrait of Woody Allen by Woody Allen, itsa classicThe StandardGood gags abound in this tale of a bespectacled Jewish writer caught up in a #MeToo takedown GuardianAsher Baum is quietly losing his mind. Can you blame him?Maybe what I really want is to make sense of all peoples lives. Of everything, the whole shebangA middle-aged Jewish journalist turned novelist and playwright, consumed with anxiety about everything under the sun, Baums turgid philosophical books receive tepid reviews and his prestigious New York publisher has dropped him. His third marriage is on the rocks and he suspects his handsome and successful younger brother may have seduced his Harvard-educated wife. He is uneasy with her close relationship with her son, a more successful author than he, and suspicious of her closeness with their neighbour in Connecticut. And in a moment of irrationality, he has impulsively tried to kiss a pretty young journalist during an interview that she is about to go public with. Is it any wonder Baum has started talking to himself? Strangers shake their heads and walk around him on the street. Meanwhile he learns a startling secret that could cause havoc should he expose it. Should he keep it to himself or reveal it and blow up his marriage?Whats with Baum? is Woody Allens first novel and it is everything you would expect of himand more. A portrait of an intellectual crippled by neurotic concerns about the futility and emptiness of life; an amusing glimpse into the New York publishing establishment; above all, a highly entertaining, tightly plotted, beautifully wrought piece of fiction from one of Americas greatest and most versatile cinematic and literary talents.
