"A superlative prose stylist, an inimitable humorist, and an absolutely first-rate people writer."
                                                                                                                        --The Washington Post


Calvin Trillin '57, longtime New Yorker contributor and classic American humorist, will read a sampler of his works at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 18, in the Branford Common Room. The event is part of the Schlesinger Visiting Writer series, which in recent years has brought to Yale such distinguished writers as John McPhee, Dave Eggers, Michael Pollan, and Gay Talese.

Trillin's books include Remembering Denny (about a Yale classmate), About Alice (about his wife), and several accounts of his adventures as a "happy eater" that have prompted Business Week to write, "Trillin is to food writing what Chaplin was to film acting."
