Journal Entry 1 by wingGoryDetailswing from Nashua, New Hampshire USA on Thursday, February 4, 2016
I found this slightly-battered '60s paperback (different cover than shown) at the Book Cellar, and thought it looked like fun - memoirs of Groucho!

Turns out it's a mix of memoirs (of, probably, varying levels of truth) and clearly-fictional stories, something like some of the collections of Dave Barry or David Sedaris. But they're all expressed in Groucho's wry/deadpan tone - and best enjoyed by "hearing" the words in his voice, I think! There are some dated bits and attitudes here and there, but for the most part I found it quite amusing, especially when the anecdotes included Groucho and his brothers while on tour or on stage.

[There's a TV Tropes page on the Marx Brothers and their works.]
