The Beautiful People and Other Aggravations

“Laugh your cares away with Rose Madeline Mula, one of the Saturday Evening Post’s favorite humor writers.”

—Ted Kreiter, editor, Saturday Evening Post

“Read this book sitting on the beach, relaxing in a bubble bath, commuting to work on the train, or vegging out on a Sunday afternoon.”

—Mary McHugh, author, How Not to Become a Crotchety Old Man

“If laughter is the best medicine, you can throw away your prescriptions! This book will replace them all.”

—Joan Fontaine, actress, Jane Eyre (1944)

“[Rose’s] bubbling wit and humor will tickle your nose and your funny bone like the best vintage wine.”

—Russ Gorman, WOON talk show host In her signature self-deprecating and hilarious style, humor essayist Rose Madeline Mula gripes about growing old. Her inability to stick with New Year’s resolutions, the mystery of her clothes shrinking to a smaller size with each passing season, and her susceptibility to infomercials are just a few of the problems pestering Mula. In this collection of comical compositions, readers can skip around from one laugh-out-loud essay to the next while enjoying the author’s endless wit and charm. The animated author recalls the days before cars came equipped with electric windows, when pin boys frequented bowling alleys, and songs were composed with lovely lyrics that the listener could understand. While written with a mature audience in mind, women of all ages will enjoy this relatable book.
