Andy Rooney: 60 Years of Wisdom and Wit

Andy Rooney: 60 Years of Wisdom and Wit

Chairs. Neat people. Ugliness. War. Over six decades of intrepid reporting and elegant essays, Andy Rooney has proven a shrewd cultural analyst-unafraid to question the sometimes ridiculous, often surprising facts of our lives. Rooneyâ‚¬s great gift is telling it straight, without a hint of sugar coating, but with more than a grain of truth and humor. His take on America? â€œItâ‚¬s just amazing how long this country has been going to hell without ever having got there.â‚¬Â On food? â€œThereâ‚¬s more dependable mediocrity than there used to be.â‚¬Â
Andy Rooney: 60 Years of Wisdom and Wit brings together the best of more than a half-century of work (including long-out-of-print pieces from his early years) in an unforgettable celebration of one of Americaâ‚¬s funniest men. Like Mark Twain, Finley Peter Dunne (Mister Dooley) and Will Rogers, Andy Rooney is a classic chronicler of America, a writer for the ages.
