Woody Allen launches official website with set of short stories

Woody Allen has launched an official website with a collection of short stories about life, love and philosophy.

The veteran comic, who is responsible for some of the world's most memorable comedy creations (including the joke which led to the naming of this website) posted a short audio clip on the front page of www.woodyallen.com earlier this week.

According to a message arriving in the SSP inbox woodyallen.com is Woody's first official web site and is intended to be a simple, straightforward source for information about the most recent work from the artist.

The launch collection includes a compilation of 68 of his classic short stories, read by the author which are available through audible.com and iTunes.

Among the quotes Allen reads include: "The true test of maturity is not how old a person is but how he reacts to awakening in the midtown area in his shorts" from Without Feathers: The Early Essays: On Youth and Age and "The universe is merely a fleeting idea in god’s mind – a pretty uncomfortable thought, particularly if you’ve just made a down payment on a house" which is taken from Getting Even: MY PHILOSOPHY: Aphorisms.
