23 de jun. de 1979 · Cruel Shoes is little more than a Steve Martin performance, without the rabbit ears, bent arrows or balloon animals. Martin's humor, at its best, turns on an acute sense of the absurd.
27 de mar. de 2005 · Steve Martin’s Cruel Shoes MARCH 27, 2005. I just discovered that most of the text of Steve Martin’s out-of-print 1979 book Cruel Shoes is posted on The Compleat Steve, a Steve Martin fansite. I’ve owned a tattered hardcover of this book since the mid-’80s, when, much like these guys, I was an adolescent Steve Martin fanatic.
When it comes to humor, it's the printed page that separates the men—like Woody Allen—from the boys. . . like Steve Martin.

21 de abr. de 2009 · Martin is, firstly, an exquisite wordsmith; his sentences are perfectly constructed and enjoyable to read even as if they were meaningless in the larger context of the story.
