New book provides ‘wit, wisdom, self-exposure’ of Woody Weingarten, author of its 70 columns

by

The Roving I, my just-launched book, can be a holiday gift for you, your family, and your friends — and that purchase can also act as a present of sorts for me, its author, since it coincides with my 85th birthday.
The new anthology — available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook versions — delivers what its subtitle promises, to supply “the wit, wisdom, and self-exposure of Woody Weingarten.” Inside are 70 of my favorite columns, including those about my wife earning a slot in my Little Black Book, a woman carrying her sister’s “miracle baby” inside her for nine months, and Robin Williams transforming himself into a talking vagina.Another good present — for your kids or grandkids — would be Grampy and His Fairyzona Playmates, a whimsical fantasy co-written by my 8-year-old granddaughter and aimed at 6- to 10-year-olds.

A third gift book can benefit anyone who knows someone with a life-threatening disease, Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner’s breast cancer, which details how my partner and I learned to cope.

More information about all three can be found at woodyweingarten.com.

About WoodyWeingarten

Woody Weingarten, San Anselmo author of The Roving I, Grampy and His Fairyzona Playmates, and Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner’s breast cancer, has been an award-winning editor and writer for almost seven decades. Now he’s a feature writer, reviewer-critic, blogger, and publisher — despite allegedly being retired. He's busily rewriting another book (interrupted by the pandemic) that's about keeping the sizzle in relationships, and staying active in his dotage by being a doting grandpa.
