Analysing every film written and directed by Albert Brooks, including \u003cem\u003eReal Life\u003c\/em\u003e (1979), \u003cem\u003eModern Romance \u003c\/em\u003e(1981) and \u003cem\u003eLost in America\u003c\/em\u003e (1985), as well as a number of his acting and voice-over roles, his stand-up comedy albums, talk show appearances and writing, the book argues that Albert Brooks not only merits a wider viewership, both critical and popular, but also that his career offers a useful lens through which to understand American film and culture since the late 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian B.
