Calvin Trillin
Essayist, memoirist, social historian, satirist, Journalist, humorist, novelist, short-story writer, critic, food writer, poet, and novelist--Calvin Trillin has done, and written, about it all. He has been called "perhaps the finest reporter in America." Trillin's wry commentary on the American scene and his books chronicling his adventures as a "happy eater" have earned him renown as "a classic American humorist." From 1967 to 1982, he produced a highly praised series for The New Yorker called "U.S. Journal" – 3,000-word pieces every three weeks from somewhere in the United States, on everything from murder to regional cooking. In Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin (Random House, $27.00), he assembles forty years of his best, and funniest, material on topics ranging from the Shoe Bomber to John Edwards's hair.
