Pure Drivel

Steve Martin's talent has always defied definition: an actor who's kept us riveted for over 25 years, a razor sharp screenwriter, an acclaimed playwright. In this ingeniously funny collection of humorous riffs, those who thought Martin's gifts were confined to the screen will discover what readers of The New Yorker magazine already know: that Martin is a master of the written word. These pieces are both hilariously funny and intelligent in their skewering of the topic at hand.

'Steve Martin is the only comic performer today whose genius translates intact to the printed page as in this hilarious collection. So writing a blurb for Steve is like pouring a drink for Boris Yeltsin - entirely unnecessary, but a considerable privilege.'
