Editorial Reviews:

Following the release of his acclaimed memoir, Kiss Me Like a Stranger, Gene Wilder sat down for this revealing interview with playwright Wendy Wasserstein. Here, Wilder looks at the struggles behind the laughter, candidly discussing his battles with neuroses, illness, and bereavement. Indeed, Wilder the comedian and Wilder the depressive are two sides of the same coin: His earliest comedic experiments followed his mothers heart attack, at which point a doctor told the eight-year-old Wilder, "try to make her laugh". Wilders discussion of his relationship with Gilda Radner, her death from ovarian cancer, and his own battle with lymphoma, take on added poignancy: Wasserstein, much more animated here than the stoically reflective Wilder, was mere months from her own untimely demise due to lymphoma.

The Danger Must Be Growing

Despite some glaring flaws (which fortunately do not mar the other interviews in this otherwise excellent 92nd Street Y series), this is a worthwhile listen. Gene Wilder speaks very slowly and deliberately, in a way that causes the listener to realize that he is mostly unintentionally funny, that he's right when he insists "I am not a comedian," and that every beloved character he'll be remembered for is essentially himself. The stories he tells are fascinating and memorable. I won't soon forget his mother's doctor's warning to Gene when he was a little boy; what he learned about comedy from watching early comic actors; his encounter with Cary Grant; his first few meetings with Mel Brooks; his reminiscences re: working with the great Madeline Kahn; and why he ended up moving in with Gilda Radner, even though she made him feel claustrophobic and trapped.

The only drawbacks: Wendy Wasserstein's obvious speech impediment (I looked her up on YouTube to verify my initial diagnosis: Yep, tongue thrust resulting in interdental production of bilabial consonants), and her INCREDIBLY poor performance as the emcee, interviewer, and conductor of the ridiculously ill-considered and ill-planned Q & A in the final 30 minutes of the session. Believe it or not (and I found it so hard to believe that at first I thought it must be some sort of poorly executed joke), Wasserstein actually reads aloud what must have been HAND-WRITTEN QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE--questions which she had apparently never seen before, and which she STRUGGLES, OFTEN UNSUCCESSFULLY, TO DECIPHER AND MAKE COHERENT--and then Gene Wilder (clearly becoming as impatient and bored as the listener after awhile) struggles to answer these incoherent rambling questions. Eventually his answers become terse and far briefer than the questions themselves. For example, in the most obvious sign of interviewee fatigue I've ever heard, in answer to a question about whether he feels that many contemporary comedians lack subtlety, he responds simply, "Yes." Then, in the penultimate question, on a topic that clearly interests him (How do you know when you're really in love?), he himself, probably from sheer exhaustion, becomes rambling and nearly incoherent in his painfully unlistenable response.

My rating: Three and a half stars.
