Satirist, food writer, and novelist, Calvin Trillin is a long-time New Yorker staff writer and “Deadline Poet” for The Nation. He has also written verse on the events of the day for The New Yorker, the New York Times, and National Public Radio. Acclaimed for their tongue-in-cheek humor, his columns and satirical poems are collected in Uncivil Liberties, If You Can't Say Something Nice, and A Heckuva Job, to name a few, and it has been said that Trillin is to food writing “what Chaplin was to film acting.” Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin: Forty Years of Funny Stuff is his 27th book—a handpicked humor collection that highlights his best work.
