The Lede: Dispatches From A Life In The Press,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A fascinating portrait of journalism and the people who make it, told through pieces collected from the incomparable sixdecade career of bestselling author and longtime New Yorker writer Calvin TrillinA literary treasure.The Washington TimesIve been writing about the press almost as long as Ive been in the game. At some point, it occurred to me that disparate pieces from various places in various styles amounted to a picture from multiple angles of what the press has been like over the years since I became a practitioner and an observer.Calvin Trillin has reported serious pieces across America for The New Yorker, covered the civil rights movement in the South for Time, and written comic verse for The Nation. But one of his favorite subjects over the yearsa superb fit for his unique combination of reportage and humorhas been his own professional environment: the American press.In The Lede, Trillin gathers his incisive, often hilarious writing on reporting, reporters, and their world. There are pieces on a legendary crime reporter in Miami and on an erudite film critic in Dallas who once a week transformed himself from a connoisseur of the French nouvelle vague into a fan of movies like Mother Riley Meets the Vampire. Trillin writes about the paucity of gossip columns in Russia, the icebreaker he'd use if he met one of his subjects socially (e.g.: You must be wondering why I referred to you in Time as a dork robot), and the origins of a publication called Beautiful Spot: A Magazine of Parking.Uniting all of this is Trillins signature combination of empathy, humor, and graceful prose. The Lede is an invaluable portrait of one our fundamental American institutions from a master journalist.
