Publisher Description

In this bold and unapologetic celebrity memoir, comedian and sitcom icon Roseanne Barr delivers sharp political satire, behind-the-scenes television stories, and fearless cultural commentary on fame, feminism, class, and controversy.

Roseanne Barr is a force of nature. From revolutionizing the television sitcom with her groundbreaking portrayal of working-class America to challenging social norms on and off screen, she has never played by Hollywood’s rules. Now, in this brash and wildly funny collection of essays, Roseanne unleashes her razor-sharp observations on hypocrisy, hubris, celebrity culture, menopause, pharmaceuticals, politics, religion, and family life.

Raised half-Jewish, half-Mormon—and entirely a misfit—Roseanne reflects on her unlikely rise to fame, the price of stardom, and the cult of celebrity that both built and battered her career. With her signature irreverence, she tackles class warfare, feminism, Kabbalah, media outrage, and the absurdities of modern America. And she’s as controversial, original, and funny as ever.

Part memoir, part comedy manifesto, and part cultural critique, Roseannearchy is a provocative, no-holds-barred look at television fame, political controversy, and the life of one of America’s most outspoken comedians.

Love this book!!

After reading Roseanne's book Roseannearchy, I feel a sister hood with her. We think alike, we were born the same year, we agree politically, we are rebels! Love her! Love the book!!!

Loved it!

Reading this book was like reading something I wrote, mirrored image of my thoughts! Rosanne has always been a favorite of mine, I never missed a show of "Roseanne" growing up! This is the first book of hers I've read, and plan on reading her other funny, truthful, and in your face literature! Thanks Rosanne!!

eat,pray,give.

Roseanne went there! She went there and came back with much to share. Where all other channels of information have truly failed,just ask John Stewart. Roseanne brings us her bigger then life goddess channeled vision of truth. She is a bittersweet generous woman. She didn't have to...but I'm sure at one point she just had to let the gates open. Thank you Roseanne. I look forward to seeing your new show ..Roseannastanly..
