In fact I will be interviewing Mr. Rosenfeld in the coming weeks regarding the book. And I'm interviewing Mr. Rosenfeld because I became aware of Mr. Brecher solely because of Sacks' book. The great thing is folks can enjoy both books to learn a vast amount about Mr. Brecher (plus in the case of Sacks' book you'll also get the perspective of 20 other writers.

He did more than that: he is the only writer to receive solo credit for writing Marx Brothers movies, and he wrote two of them. A hysterical recounting of this and Brecher's long and wonderful association with the Brothers Marx and others may be found in Brecher's new book, published January 15, 2009, two months to the day after Brecher died. It would have been his 95th birthday. Groucho dubbed Brecher "THE WICKED WIT OF THE WEST" -- and that's the title of the book. It's subtitled: The last great Golden Age screenwriter shares the hilarity and heartaches of working with Groucho, Garland, Gleason, Burns, Berle, Benny & many more. Journalist Hank Rosenfeld spent seven years taking down all Brecher's juicy stories while sharing pastrami sandwiches at delis all over Los Angeles.
