Winter's Tale by Jonathan Winters Collection of winter stories that are quite unusual. Short stories about winter months and related from the comic who made Mork and Mindy. Liked the dance one and the pheasant hunting with his grandfather the best. Military ones were quite somber and sad. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). 0394564243 Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

If you come looking for Winters’ trademark broad, weird humor, look other places. These stories feel more like personal notes to oneself than an actual attempt at a cohesive book. Taken as a whole, they sadly do not add up to a very entertaining book. Individually you may find some of them striking, while almost all can be noted for their skewed perspective on life.
I wanted to like this book more than I did. If you want to know about the comedian, look to his vast list of performances or the record albums he produced. Don’t judge the performer by the writer.
I give it three stars just for the look into the non-performance portion of Jonathan Winters’ brain. ( )
