Groucho Marx

The comedian describes his life, from his childhood in poverty in New York's Lower East Side to his time working in vaudeville to the adventures of the Marx Brothers in Hollywood

Groucho And Me

No personage is too big, no nuance too small, no subject too far out for Groucho's spontaneous, hilarious, and ferocious typewriter. 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”); crisply declining membership in a Hollywood club (”I don't care to belong to any social organization that will accept me as a member”); 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 Finnegans Wake . I'm certainly as bewildered about life as Joyce was”); responding to a scandal sheet (”Gentleman: If you continue to publish slanderous pieces about me, I shall feel compelled to cancel my subscription”); describing himself to the Lunts (”I eat like a vulture. Unfortunately the resemblance doesn't end there”); and much, much more. That mobile visage, that look of wild amazement, and that weaving cigar are wholly captured, bound but untamed, in The Groucho Letters.

Groucho Marx: and Other Short Stories and Tall Tales

Groucho Marx, the most outrageous and voluble of the legendary Marx Brothers, had a life which stretched from vaudeville (his debut was in 1901) to game-show, and took in Hollywood on the way, with such classics as "A Night at the Opera". This autobiography recounts his life and career.

The Autobiography

Groucho y yo: Fundidos en uno solo, Groucho y su yo escribieron este libro... indescriptible. Y es que aunque uno y otro sean de naturaleza muy similar, también son, paradójicamente, muy distintos. En tanto que Groucho, insumiso, entrometido, criticón e insolente mujeriego, dinamita la sociedad y siembra el desconcierto, el yo-de-Groucho sólo piensa en enriquecerse y medrar en esa misma sociedad. Pero lo cierto es que los dos gozan por igual del don privilegiado de hacernos morir de risa.
