Apropos of Nothing is a 2020 memoir by American filmmaker and humorist Woody Allen. The book was originally due to be published by Grand Central Publishing, an imprint of Hachette Book Group, in April 2020,[2] but on March 6, 2020, Hachette said they would no longer publish it.[3] The memoir was published, in English, by Arcade Publishing[4][5] and, in Italian, by La nave di Teseo[6] on March 23, 2020. The photo of Allen on the back cover was taken by his longtime friend and frequent co-star Diane Keaton.[7]
A statement by Arcade Publishing called the book "a candid and comprehensive personal account by Woody Allen of his life, ranging from his childhood in Brooklyn through his acclaimed career in film, theater, television, print and standup comedy, as well as exploring his relationships with family and friends."[5] The book received mixed reviews upon release.
