On those occasions when he stops scaling Olympus and makes a popular comedy-drama such as Annie Hall or Hannah and Her Sisters, he feels a little cheap, like the Whore of Mensa (the main character and title of one of his funniest short stories) -- as if he has undersold his gifts to win easy acclaim...

...incompatible attitudes concerning sex." Sonny, a stockbroker with conservative views, thought Sarah, his live-in girlfriend, was joking about taping and laughingly said O.K. One night he came home from the office and found Sarah in a negligee and the video camera running. He blew up, calling her a whore and a slut...
