Not That You Asked...

New York: Random House, 1989. Hardback. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. Price clipped to D/J. Rooney, writing at the top of his inimitable style, tells us just what is in both his head and his heart. For the first time, Rooney writes about his fundamental beliefs on such issues as mortality, abortion, and religion. Rooney has found a way to be thoughtfull yet not solemn; in fact he is at times downright irreverent. He talks about birth control just as easily as he talks about electrical outlets, the state of his own backyard or the joy of a rainy day. With the endearing crankiness of a truthful sage, Rooney punctures our pretensions, showing us those things that we've always known to be true but never quite knew. You'll find yourself smiling, involuntarily bobbing your head in agreemtn. Of course, Rooney also hopes to incite anger. He boasts: 'There's something in this book that will irritate almost everyone'. 271 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . 1st Trade Edition.
