That's right, I had to check out more Gene Wilder stuff. I wasn't quite as into this one, but it was probably wittier than the other Wilder book I read.
This novella revolved around a soldier during WWI who impersonates a famous spy, and meets a girl named Annie, who is basically a whore. They fall in love, get married, whatnot.
It was a pretty cute story, and a quick read. I really, truly admire his work because anything he's ever done on film you can see so much him in it, and I love that his novellas have been the same way.
