Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In Calvin Trillin's antic tales of family life, she was portrayed as the wife who had a weird predilection for limiting our family to three meals a day and the mother who thought that if you didn't go to every performance of your child's school play, the county would come and take the child. Now, five years after her death, her husband offers this loving portrait of Alice Trillin off the page-his loving portrait of Alice Trillin off the page-an educator who was equally at home teaching at a university or a drug treatment center, a gifted writer, a stunningly beautiful and thoroughly engaged woman who, in the words of a friend, managed to navigate the tricky waters between living a life you could be proud of and still delighting in the many things there are to take pleasure in. Though it deals with devastating loss, About Alice is also a love story, chronicling a romance that began at a Manhattan party when Calvin Trillin desperately tried to impress a young woman who seemed to glow.You have never again been as funny as you were that night, Alice would say, twenty or thirty years later.You mean I peaked in December of 1963?I'm afraid so. But he never quit trying to impress her. In his writing, she was sometimes his subject and always his muse. The dedication of the first book he published after her death read, I wrote this for Alice. Actually, I wrote everything for Alice. In that spirit, Calvin Trillin has, with About Alice, created a gift to the wife he adored and to his readers.…

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

"In Calvin Trillin's antic tales of family life, Alice was portrayed as the wife who had 'a weird predilection for limiting our family to three meals a day' and the mother who thought that if you didn't go to every performance of your child's school play, 'the county would come and take the child.' Now, five years after her death, her husband offers this loving portrait of Alice Trillin off the page--an educator who was equally at home teaching at a university or a drug treatment center, a gifted writer, a stunningly beautiful and thoroughly engaged woman who, in the words of a friend, managed to 'navigate the tricky waters between living a life you could be proud of and still delighting in the many things there are to take pleasure in.' [] Though it deals with devastating loss, ABOUT ALICE is also a love story, chronicling a romance that began at a Manhattan party when Calvin Trillin desperately tried to impress a young woman who 'seemed to glow.'" [jacket copy] "Avoiding expressions of grief, Trillin unveils a straightforward, honest portrait of their marriage and family life in this slim volume, opening with the suggestion that he had previously mischaracterized Alice when he wrote her into 'stories that were essentially sitcoms.' Looking back on their first encounter, he then focuses on her humor, her beauty, her 'child's sense of wonderment,' her relationship with her daughters and her concern for others. Trillin's 12-page 'Alice, Off the Page' was published earlier this year in the New Yorker, and his expansion of his original essay into this touching tribute is certain to stir emotions."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new, handsome jacket. Quite presentable.…
