Without Feathers

Personally, my favorite story in Woody Allen's Without Feathers was "If the Impressionists Had Been Dentists". It's a simple enough book, but it's pretty funny. It's written like letters from Vincent Van Gogh to his brother, Theo. It describes what Vincent's doing, what he's gotten in trouble for recently, and the way he yearns to assimilate art into his dentistry. I quite like the relationship Vincent supposedly has with another Impressionist-turned-Dentist, Gauguin. It's really funny because of the way all of Vincent's exploits are told as if they're entirely normal, despite the oddity of their nature.
