Groucho Letters: Letters from and to Groucho Marx
Groucho Letters: Letters from and to Groucho Marx | Groucho Marx
7 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Donated to the Library of Congress in the mid-1960s, Groucho Marx's correspondence was first crafted into this celebration of wit and wisdom in 1967. Reissued today with his original letters and humor intact, The Groucho Letters exposes one of the twentieth century's most beloved comedian's private insights into show biz, politics, business, and, of course, his illustrious personal life. Included are Marx's conversations with such noted personalities as E. B. White, Fred Allen, Goodman Ace, Nunnally Johnson, James Thurber, Booth Tarkington, Alistair Cooke, Harry Truman, Irving Berlin, and S. J. Perelman. To Confidential Magazine Gentlemen: If you continue to publish slanderous pieces about me, I shall feel compelled to cancel my subscription. Sincerely, Groucho Marx

RadicalReader @GripLitGrl where did you find this incredibly humorous gem?! 7y
GripLitGrl @RadicalReader If i can't think of a book reference for the promt I'll discuss with my husband to see if he can think of anything this one he remembered. Then i plug the name of who said it with the quote into google & i took the best image to use. It makes for fun dinner conversations. He remembered it via someone posting something in reference to it on FB 7y

Spied in a bar bathroom. I'm forgiving the spelling errors in Groucho's name since the quote is so true
