WHY WE SUCK Hardback - 2008
by Leary, Denis
A hilariousblast of scathingirreverence fromthe award-winningactor and comedian.
'A pissed off Leary is the best Leary,' says one critic of thewriter and comic. In Why We Suck, Dr. Denis Leary uses his commonsense, and his biting and hilarious take on the world, to attackthe politically correct, the hypocritical, the obese, the thin--basicallyeveryone who takes themselves too seriously. He does so with theextra oomph of a doctorate bestowed upon him by his alma materEmerson College. 'Sure it's just a celebrity type of thing--theyonly gave it to me because I'm famous.' Leary explains. 'But it'slegal and it means I get to say I'm a doctor--just like Dr. Phil.'
In Why We Suck, Leary's famously smart style and sardonicwit have found their fullest and fiercest expression yet. Zeroingin on the ridiculous wherever he finds it, Leary unravels his IrishCatholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of familylife, and the great hypocrisy of politics with the same bright,savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimedone-man shows No Cure for Cancer and Lock 'n Load, and hisplatinum-selling song, 'Asshole.'
Proudly Irish American, defiantly working class, with areserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Learydelivers blistering diatribes that are penetrating social commentarywith no holds barred. Leary's book will find wide appeal amongpeople who want to laugh out loud or find a guide who matchestheir view of what's wrong in America and the world-at-large;and fans of his one-man shows, his many movies, and Rescue Me,Leary's Golden Globe and Emmynominated television show.Why We Suck is the latest salvo from one of America's most originaland biting comic satirists.
