No Cure for Cancer Book

Leary manages to be harsh and hilarious about foibles and situations, stupidity and hypocrisy. No Cure for Cancer is the written version of a series of monologues he wrote while in the United Kingdom. Perhaps the most memorable aspects of the book are the speculation about a story drawn from a supermarket checkout newspaper about a man who lost his penis in an industrial accident; Leary's childhood experience of being shot in the head by his brother with an arrow; and his rants about drugs, the psychoses of New York, and the kind of childhood no one would willingly claim is normal for America, but probably (and frighteningly) is!Read More

  • Product Description

    Based on his off-Broadway hit show, this is the author's comic look at society and all its ills - disease, drugs, crime, junk culture, pious political correctness, urban life, and the human fear of mortality. Drawing on his experience growing up as the son of working-class Irish immigrants in Boston, on his coming-of-age at the height of the "me" decade, on his biting observations of contemporary America's decaying political and popular culture, and on his deviated outlook as an unrepetent smoker, drinker, and meat-eater, the author invites readers to face issues that society is most afraid of.
