The Autobiography of Will Rogers

In a selection of Rogers' own words, lassoed together by Day, Will Rogers tells how he became the spokesman and the watchdog for the inarticulate public in a period of dramatic change in American life. A great American, a great democrat, a great internationalist, and not a bad rodeo man, Will's simple directness spoke to "the big, Honest Majority", in whom his faith was steady.

Will Rogers was America. Part Cherokee Indian and former cowboy, he captivated audiences around the world with sparkling gems of wisdom cloaked in gentle and uproarious country wit and astonishing rope tricks. His colorful life recently inspired a commercially successful and critically acclaimed Broadway musical -- winner of 6 Tony Awards. His words are as entertaining, inspiring and revelant today as they ever were.
 A simple, plain-spoken man, he was the voice of a nation during the '20s and '30s. Movie star, vaudeville headliner, radio commentator, his views and observations were syndicated daily and weekly in over 600 newspapers across the country.
Here is the essential Will Rogers -- the story of his remarkable career, from Oklahoma "cowpuncher" to international star . . . and the warm, knowing and hilarious philosophies of the man embodied the heart and soul of the nation.

Taylor Publishing Co. (TX)

Read by the most sophisticated audiences in the world, Will Rogers also spoke to and for the great normal majority. He tackled the most complex ideas and cut them down to size. A flying reporter, he traveled the world and wrote about events as if they were happening in the next county. Since the Will Rogers Memorial opened in November, 1938, many of the 25 million visitors to the shrine have asked for his "gags," his jokes or his "sayings." Thousands of other folk have written to ask what Rogers had to say on particular topics - what sage remarks he made on Hoover, taxes, the depression or Hollywood, among other things. Choice bits of his wit and wisdom on many subjects fill the pages of this book. Selected by the Memorial staff members from collected writings of Will Rogers (in 22 volumes), the sayings will make you nod your head and say, "You know, he's right about that!" You will want to repeat them to friends over coffee. You can use them to spice up a speech or a column. Or to do your heart good as you chuckle to yourself on a long plane trip.

Medieval Futurity: Essays for the Future of a Queer Medieval Studies (New Queer Medievalisms, 1)

This collection of essays asks contributors to take the capaciousness of the word "queer" to heart in order to think about what medieval queers would have looked like and how they may have existed on the margins and borders of dominant, normative sexuality and desire. The contributors work with recent trends in queer medieval studies, blending together modern concepts of sexuality and desire with the queer configurations of eroticism, desire, and materiality as they might have existed for medieval audiences.
