Non-Fiction Memoir
Every Sunday evening, millions of viewers tune in to 60
Minutes to hear Andy Rooney riff on everything from
coffee percolators to the state of the union. Millions more
read his weekly newspaper column. Why? Because Rooney tells
it like it is. But Rooney fans have never seen him quite
like this. Andy Rooney is plain frustrated by what's going
on in America and the world. Why can't Americans-let alone
our president-speak English anymore? How do we expect to
fight a terrorist enemy that we can't even locate? And when
did capitalism go so terribly wrong? This book isn't all
heady stuff, though. Readers will also get the familiar-and
hysterical-Rooney gripes about everyday foibles, such as
the impossibility of physically locating your driver's
registration, of purchasing a genuinely healthy breakfast
cereal, or of enjoying a college reunion-unless everyone
ends up in their nighties, that is. PublicAffairs
is pleased to present its fifth collaboration with Andy
Rooney. Loyal Rooney fans and anyone who enjoys a good laugh
at life's absurdities will be thrilled to add it to the
bookshelf during the holidays.
