Book (Paperback, New Ed)

Whoopi Goldberg speaks…'Here's where I'm supposed to say all kinds of hip, Whoopi-esque stuff to get you to buy the book…So this is when we seal the deal, when I tell you in my own inimitable way, how uproarious and provocative this book is, how OUT THERE, and cutting edge, and whatever else I can think of to throw into the mix. Or, I could say things like, 'Not since War and Peace…' or 'Move over Alice Walker…' Well come on now, if a book were all those things it would be a novel, and I wouldn't resort to such low tactics…. So I'll give it you straight.'
As befits the sassy, original entertainer, this is no ordinary autobiography filled with the boring details. Instead, Whoopi delivers twenty-five monologues with titles such as Fate, Trust, Home, Self, Cost, Race, Choice, Dick, Death and Dream. Under the chapter 'Wind' she reveals: 'A lot of people don't know this about me…but that's how I got my name, from my frequent farting. When I was in my 20s and diagnosed with ulcers, I was encouraged to fart up a storm, and my friends started calling me Whoopi. I was like a walking whoopee cushion, they said. It was an easy tag and the name stuck.'
