Publisher Description: "Brilliant . . . The dean of American comic writers showcases his varied talents mocking the public and private lives of politicians, average citizens and himself."--The Star-Ledger "Funny is to Trillin what drinking is to Uncle Jed in Annie Get Your Gun--it's what he does 'natur'lly.' He's also a lot more than funny. Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin is the twenty-eighth book he's published over not far short of a half-century, and their range of subjects is remarkable."--Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post "Trillin made his reputation over four decades as the author of 'U.S. Journal' in the New Yorker but he] is incapable of resisting the temptation of comedy. The jokes kept on welling up and Mr. Trillin made a parallel reputation as a writer of funny stuff."--The Economist "Wry, whip-smart, understated, and entertaining."--The Miami Herald |
