Reviews

"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?"
Murray Kempton
