BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND TELEVISION STAR ROSEANNE BARR IS
BACK—WITH A VENGEANCE—AND THE RESULT IS ROSEANNEARCHY. Roseanne Barr is a force of nature. Whether taking the
sitcom world by storm, challenging accepted social norms, or
battling the wild pigs inhabiting her nut farm in Hawaii,
she is not to be trifled with. In this return to the printed
page, Roseanne unleashes her razor-sharp observations on
hypocrisy, hubris, and self-perpetuating institutions of
questionable value—as well as menopause, pharmaceuticals,
and her grandkids. And she’s as controversial, original, and
funny as ever. Raised half-Jewish, half-Mormon, and 100 percent misfit,
Roseanne made a deal with Satan early on as the price she
paid for stardom. But now she’s looking to refinance the
loan of her soul—this book represents her final exorcism of
fame. Displaying her brilliance and sharp wit, Roseanne discusses
the humor of everyday life with musings on more serious
topics, such as class warfare, feminism, the cult of
celebrity, and Kabbalah. Bold, brash, and insightful,
Roseannearchy shows that she can still skewer any subject
under the sun and why The New York Times describes her
appeal as “the power of a whole planet, pulling everything
around it inexorably into its orbit.”
