Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Letters are often a window to a person's true self, or, in this case, selves. This "book of letters in the old tradition of correspondence" (LJ 2/15/67) displays not only the great wit of the one, the only, Groucho but also the private, serious side of Julius Marx. Recipients include fellow show business figures and family members as well as T.S. Eliot, President Harry Truman, and Edward R. Murrow.

Kurzbeschreibung
THE GROUCHO LETTERS enjoys the very best of Groucho's correspondence with the greatest wits and minds of his day. Correspondents include James Thurber, T.S. Eliot, President Harry Truman, Edward R. Murrow, Jerry Lewis, Howard Hughes, Irving Berlin and of course, Chico, Harpo and Gummo. He writes to comics, corporations, children, presidents, and even his daughter's boyfriend.
Here is Groucho swapping photos with T. S. Eliot ('I had no idea you were so handsome!'); advising his son on courting a rich dame ('Don't come out bluntly and say, "How much dough have you got?" That wouldn't be the Marxian way'); reacting with utmost composure when informed that he has been made into a verb by James Joyce ('There's no reason why I shouldn't appear in Finnegan’s Wake . I'm certainly as bewildered about life as Joyce was'); and crisply declining membership in a Hollywood club ('I don't care to belong to any social organization that will accept me as a member').
No personage is too big, no nuance too small, no subject too far-out for Groucho's spontaneous, hilarious, and ferocious typewriter.

These letters are a treasure. I'm glad someone saved all of these. I wonder if Groucho copied all of them, or if all these people kept them after all of these years?
Groucho's wit shines through in these letters. He is a good writer, and you learn a little about history while you read these entertaining letters.

I bought this book for my boyfriend and he LOVED it. It's easy to read, filled with interesting tales and a must-have for any Groucho Marx fan. I, while not a Marx Brothers fan for all my life, found myself picking up the book again and again. Very enjoyable. Very easy to digest. It was read by us both within a couple of days of his unwrapping the gift.

As delightful a Marxist account as can be found anywhere (Groucho would probably say that Karl is no Engel!:-))!Groucho's rapier wit is contagious; the book lends an insight into the man as well,at times the humor is ironical without ever being cynical;his respect for other literary personae comes through strongly-a classic case in point is his legendary correspondence with T. S. Eliot. The book abounds with bon mots and his hilarious correspondence with Warner Brothers is an excellent introduction to the book.This is the type of book that everybody should have as it easily elicits a laugh, chuckle and guffaw (which,as Groucho says, is a good name for a law firm)! All in all, 'grouching' around should begin with this book-full marx to Groucho for that!And after reading this book, you don't have to beware of the Ides of Marx!
