This memoir documents constitutionally grouchy man's quest to become more pleasant to the people around him--a quest that mostly failed, as the author grumpily admits: he was never able to reign in the barbed wit that has made him a noted, if feared, movie critic.

Publisher's Note
Can a lifelong curmudgeon change his tune? Joe Queenan is willing to try. One of our most revered and reviled cultural critics, he's been called everything from a "literary samurai" (Houston Chronicle) to "Jonathan Swift with a remote control" (Amazon.com)--plus a few things not fit for print. But, he admits, even though the money is good, all this meanness has filled him with self-loathing. MY GOODNESS documents Queenan's journey toward self-regeneration. After reviewing the history of goodness in the Western world (from Jesus Christ to Sting), he chronicles his own moral attempts at rehabilitation, the inevitable relapse into nastiness, and his eventual transformation. Being nice is the biggest challenge of his career. He only hopes the money's as good on the other side.
