review: when columnist calvin trillin's wife died of cancer, he immortalized her in his book about alice. this short read highlight's alice's grace, morals and most importantly, her loving character. although it is obvious that trillin still loves his wife dearly, as a first time reader of his work, i felt excluded from many of his anecdotes that seemed to come from other columns or essays he has written. all in all, this is a short read and a very nice memorial of a woman he was, and still is, madly in love with.
rating: 2/5
