About this book

Following a close filial relationship as it unfolds week by week year by year these letters move through three decades of life: from the vagaries of Grouchos career in film radio and television through two divorces and two remarriages to Miriams own often tumultuous young adulthood. In his own inimitable fashion Groucho advises his daughter about her schoolwork writing career growing up and growing old. He also discusses theater film books and politics with a candor that will surprise and delight even his most knowledgeable fans. Accompanied by photographs from Miriams personal albums Love Groucho reveals a man deeply concerned with his family a sometimes firm always loving father who never hesitated to say exactly what he thought.
