All About Alice

Poet, author and gourmand Calvin Trillin will be on Minnesota Public Radio's Midmorning show Wednesday at 9am CST. You will be able to listen to the show live here.

Trillin will be discussing his latest book About Alice, a memoir and love letter to his late wife, the subject of not only this book but also Alice, Let's Eat and Travels with Alice. She was also a constant steadying presence in his essays and a familiar character to Trillin's many readers. She died in 2001.

Now Trillin has expanded an earlier New Yorker essay, writing a book which the New York Times called "slim but walloping."
