"A summing up of the best of Terkel."—Herbert Mitgang,
Doubletake
The Studs Terkel Reader,
originally published under the title My American
Century, collects the best interviews from eight of
Terkel's classic oral histories together with his
magnificent introductions to each work. Featuring selections
from American Dreams, Coming of Age, Division Street,
"The Good War", The Great Divide, Hard Times, Race, and
Working, this "greatest hits" volume is a treasury of
Terkel's most memorable subjects that will delight his many
lifelong fans and provide a perfect introduction for those
who have not yet experienced the joy of reading Studs
Terkel. It includes an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner
Robert Coles surveying Terkel's overall body of work and a
new foreword by Calvin Trillin.
