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. Rooney’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? “It’s just amazing how long this country has been
going to hell without ever having got there.” On food? “There’s more
dependable mediocrity than there used to be.”

Review
Kirkus Reviews “Rooney has solid credentials as an old-fashioned liberal of an almost extinct type, one who dislikes hubbub and loudmouths but dislikes injustice even more.”
