guaranteed to impress. For

Is This Thing Called Love? This
is a winning collection from an author
writing on his favorite topic - love. Each
emotionally involving story illuminates a
different kind of love: star-crossed,
intense, needy, eternal, unrequited, even
comical. Gene
Wilder's protagonists will be
instantly recognizable to his fans: men
and women who stumble into relationships
that can fulfill them or knock them out
cold. Which one it will be depends, often,
on the smallest of gestures or
reactions. What
Is This Thing Called Love? is poignant and
interesting. One reviewer at Amazon
explains this book beautifully: "I didn't
realize until reading this book that I had
forgotten how to be human. All I can do is
thank Gene." The
Woman Who Wouldn't Gene
Wilder's second novel takes a poignant and
whimsically romantic poke at
turn-of-the-last-century Europe's
privileged gentry. When
British concert violinist Jeremy Spencer
Webb snaps, pouring water down a tuba and
pounding the Steinway during a
performance, he is sent to a health resort
in the German Black Forest to recover.
There, under the care of the orchestra
director's brother, Dr. Karl Gross, Jeremy
meets his idol, the consumptive Anton
Chekhov, and an elusive cute Belgie named
Clara Mulpas. Gene
Wilder is a supple, unpretentious writer
and his writing will slowly pull you in
and make you care about the characters.
The Woman Who Wouldn't is an imaginative,
compelling, fun and yet serious
book. My
French Whore Gene
Wilder's first novel is set in World War I
and tells the tale of Peachy, a captured
American soldier who decides to risk
everything by impersonating Harry
stroller, one of the enemies most famous
spies. He enters a world he didn't know
existed and meets Annie, when the true
story really begins. Gene
Wilder shows a remarkable talent for
writing in such a way that the story will
play in your miind like a movie, or even a
memory. My
French Whore is a book about love,
loyalty, grace and clarity. You will adore
it. Kiss
Me Like A Stranger - My Search For Love
And Art Gene
recalls important moments in his life in
this honest, genuine and sometimes
heart-breaking book. Kiss
Me Like a Stranger covers many topics,
including acting, adultery, neuroses and
death in this intimate, unusual memoir.
Like that of many comics, Wilder's private
life does not reflect his zany stage and
screen persona. Introspective by nature,
Gene documents his personal search for the
truth about his family, his loves, the
choices he has made, and his quest for
artistic fulfillment. Not
a traditional biography, but then, Gene
Wilder is not one to do what people
expect! Gilda's
Disease After
the death of comedienne Gilda Radner from
ovarian cancer in 1989, her husband, Gene
Wilder, contacted Piver, chief of
gynecological oncology at Roswell Park
Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., to
learn more about the disease that killed
his wife. In this overview of ovarian
cancer, Piver outlines known causes,
preventive measures, symptoms and
available treatments for this
disease. Gilda's
Disease is both heart-breaking and
informative, making readers both laugh and
cry. Excerpts from Gene's letters and
extracts from Gilda's book 'It's Always
Something' break up Dr. Pivers information
on Ovarian cancer.
