ReviewsMike Nichols "Neil, while telling the absolute truth, makes things both funnier and more positive. And then I realize with a pang that this is truly how it was. I miss it. I miss it all.", Steve Martin "Neil Simon has created that rare thing: an autobiographical page-turner. It's a funny and moving work. I cried till I laughed.", Gwen Verdon " Rewrites is courageously honest and revealing. We all lived, through Neil, a life full of laughter, wonder and sorrow.", Hal Prince "A life in the theater is often a refuge from childhood demons. Neil Simon has charted his escape route in this characteristically straightforward, self-critical, and compassionate autobiography of his early years."

SynopsisHis plays and movies have kept us laughing for four decades, but even more than the humor, it is the humanity of Neil Simon's vision that has made him America's most-loved playwright. Now, the author of such hilarious and heartwarming plays as Barefoot in the Park , The Odd Couple , Plaza Suite , and The Goodbye Girl gives readers his memoir--a funny, touching biography filled with the details of his writing life and rich with the experiences that underlie his work., The playwright recounts his painful childhood, his many influences, anecdotes from his career, and the devastating death of his wife.
