Book Description
The good life and acerbic opinions of the 60 Minutes
commentator, syndicated columnist, and bestselling author -
in letters to family, friends, and the public.
Andy Rooney's weekly commentaries on 60 Minutes and his
twice weekly syndicated newspaper columns - addressing
everything from deceptive cereal packaging to the existence
of God--have made him America's best known critic of the
quotidian. As you might imagine, he gets a lot of letters in
response to his often iconoclastic views. As you might not
expect, he writes a lot of letters, too.
Now, for the first time, Rooney has collected the
funniest, wisest, and most interesting of his letters,
spanning several decades and addressing issues both momentous
and trivial. Rooney responds to complaints from viewers; he
corresponds with old friends; and he writes to his children
about the things he cares about most. Variously caustic,
hilarious, and sage, these unfailingly entertaining letters
reveal not only Rooney the iconoclast but Rooney the American
Everyman. Sincerely, Andy Rooney is Andy Rooney at his
best--and a wonderful gift book that will make readers
chuckle and think twice.
