Beschreibung von Audible
"Bud". That’s what author-journalist Mark Singer calls his forebear, the eminent Calvin Trillin, in this touching interview, recorded at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, in 2007. "Err on the side of effusiveness", was Trillin’s instructions to Singer regarding his own introduction. Such good-natured wit infuses this conversation, which takes a decidedly serious and poignant turn when Trillin discusses his latest book, About Alice, written shortly after his wife of over 45 years passed away in 2001. Calvin Trillin is an American treasure.
