Studs Terkel's classic oral history Working is a compelling look at jobs and the people who do them. Consisting of over one hundred interviews with everyone from a gravedigger to a studio head, this book provides an enduring portrait of people's feelings about their working lives. This edition includes a new foreword by New York Times journalist Adam Cohen.
"A powerful, original, indescribable and incredible book. . . . Only an interviewer of genius, exploiting the tape recorder as hardly anyone else has done, could possibly have brought it forth."
Lewis Mumford
"Nothing could tell our children's children who and how and what we were the way Studs Terkel will. Is it possible the great American novelist is Terkel?"
