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 yearsâa superb fit for his unique combination of reportage and humorâhas been his own professional environment: the American press. In The Lede, Trillin gathers his writing on reporting, reporters, and their world.
What The Reviewers Say
Both humorous and serious.
This book is buoyant and crunchy from end to end.
Calvin Trillin is an annoyingly good writer.
Trillin engages readers through a veritable history of journalism that meanders through decades, subjects, and personalities.
