Summaries and Reviews
Summary
In a hilarious look at the idea of 'good,' the noted curmudgeonly cultural critic surveys the history of goodness in Western Civilization--from Jesus to Sting--and concludes that he should try to be nice himself. Reprint. 40,000 first printing.
(view table of contents)Amazon.com description: Product Description: Years upon years of being unspeakably nasty to icons as diverse as Jimmy Carter, Barbra Streisand, and even Mother Nature herself had taken its toll on Joe Queenan. The man all editors turned to when they needed a book, film, or tv program savaged was tired of being so mean. He wanted to be more like Susan Sarandon. Or Sting. Determined to mend his ways, Queenan embarked on the most difficult task of his career: he decided to become a nice person. Now available in paperback, My Goodness is the side-splitting result of Queenans attempted transformation: from his use of animal-friendly Body Shop goods to his letter of apology to Jackie Collins after a scathing review of her latest book; from his quest to save the whales to his quest to save Linda Tripages.
