Calvin Trillin, author of Feeding A Yen: Savoring Local Specialties from Kansas City to Cuzco, and the recent Obliviously On He Sails : The Bush Administration in Rhyme, has been acclaimed in fields of writing that are remarkably diverse. As someone who has published solidly reported pieces in The New Yorker for 40 years, he has been called "perhaps the finest reporter in America." His antic commentary on the American scene and his books chronicling his adventures as a "happy eater" have earned him recognition as "a classic American humorist." His bestseller, Remembering Denny, was hailed as "an elegiac, disturbing and altogether brilliant memoir."
Trillin's books have included three comic novels: (a national bestseller Tepper Isn't Going Out), a collection of short stories, a travel book, and an account of the desegregation of the University of Georgia. His three antic books on eating - American Fried, Alice, Let's Eat and Third Helpings - were compiled in 1994 into a single volume called The Tummy Trilogy. His memoirs include Messages from My Father, a New York Times bestseller, and Family Man.
