Review Quotes:

"It was called Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, and it was the first film directed by Paul Mazursky, who went on to make seven genuinely memorable movies in a fascinating 35-year career that offers some rueful lessons about the changing nature of the American film. That career is the subject of Paul on Mazursky, a delightful book of conversations between the film writer Sam Wasson and the garrulous octogenarian."--John Podhoretz, The Weekly Standard

"[T]his book provides a fresh, innovative paradigm for biographical studies. Grab this book and a large cup of coffee, find an oversized stuffed chair, and slip into the funny heart of another human being."--T. Lindvall, Choice
