Carrie Courogen on the Genius of Elaine May
This week, Izzy interviews author Carrie Courogen about her book, Miss May Does Not Exist: The Life and Work of Elaine May, Hollywood’s Hidden Genius. With this biography, Courogen achieved the seemingly impossible task of creating an intimate portrait of a woman who desperately does not want to be known, but very much deserves to be. From the origins of improv comedy to the funniest movies of the 1970s to the notorious legal battles that hovered over May’s career, Courogen gets into all of it with exquisite detail and conversational charm.
