Without Feathers

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Woody Allen's Without Feathers (1975) is one of his best-known literary pieces. The book spent 4 months on the New York Times Bestseller List. The book is a collection of short stories and also features two one act plays, Death (play) and God (play).

The name is essentially a play on Emily Dickinson's words "Hope is the thing with feathers", reflecting Woody Allen's neurotic sense of hopelessness. The Dickinson poem is mentioned in one of the stories in the collection.
