About this Item

First edition, first printing. Inscribed by Roseanne Barr: "To John Love Roseanne Barr." The print run, combined with the book's dedication to "those I love" and the inscription's "love" valediction--a tender term missing from Roseanne's more generic author inscriptions--strongly suggest that this copy was meant for either Roseanne's co-star and close friend John Goodman, who receives special praise in the book (pp. 148-49) or Roseanne's long-term partner John Argent, who also receives tribute in the acknowledgements (p. 279). Clean pages, clean cover.

About this title

Synopsis

The collection of hilarious and provocative essays by New York Times bestselling author and television pioneer Roseanne Barr as she takes on world leaders, militant feminists, and even Satan.

From the Hollywood hot seat to her Hawaiian macadamia nut farm, bestselling author and television star Roseanne Barr isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty!

As controversial, original, and funny as ever, Roseanne Barr unleashes her razor-sharp observations on hypocrisy, hubris, class warfare, feminism, the cult of celebrity, Kabbalah, and self-perpetuating institutions of questionable value—as well as her musings on menopause, pharmaceuticals, her grandkids, and other humorous topics of everyday life. Bold and brash, witty and insightful, Roseannearchy shows why The New York Times describes her appeal as “the power of a whole planet, pulling everything around it inexorably into its orbit.”
