Bruce Jay Friedman is one of the most influential comic writers of our time. He has written for film and stage, but is best known for his fiction which includes A Mother's Kisses, Stern, and The Current Climate. His most recent works are The Collected Works of Bruce Jay Friedman, A Father's Kisses, Even Rhinos Were Nymphos: Best Non-Fiction, and Violencia.

Friedman's brand of humor lies somewhere between Woody Allen's dark, paranoid musings and Henny Youngman's quick-fire one-liners. An author, screenwriter and playwright, Mr. Friedman started his career as an editor and short story writer. Friedman began writing novels in the early 1960s. He turned to the screen in 1971 with The Owl and the Pussycat, adapted from William Manhof's play. He went on to provide the story for Neil Simon's The Heartbreak Kid (1972) and to write the successful comedies Stir Crazy and Doctor Detroit. Friedman's book, The Lonely Guy's Book of Life, provided the basis for the Steve Martin vehicle, The Lonely Guy (1984). Neil Simon did the adaptation, while TV veterans Ed Weinberger and Stan Daniels (of Taxi fame) wrote the screenplay. In 1984, Friedman enjoyed a major success with Splash (Friedman was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay). As an actor, Friedman has appeared in two films directed by Woody Allen: Another Woman (1988) and Husbands and Wives (1992).
