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 Grampy and His Fairyzona Playmates as well as Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner’s breast cancer, has been an award-winning editor and writer for more than six decades. Now he’s a feature writer, reviewer-critic, blogger and publisher — despite allegedly being retired. He's busily working on another book that anthologizes 70 newspaper columns he wrote over an 11-year period, rewriting a book interrupted by the pandemic that's about keeping the sizzle in relationships, and staying active in his dotage by being a doting grandpa.
