About This Item
New York, NY: Pantheon Books, 1977. 1st Ed. DJ price clipped. Bottom edge bumped in middle. Overall content excellent. Hardbound. 8vo. 316 Pgs.. Nr Fine in Chipped DJ/Good. Talking To Myself: A Memoir of My Times by Studs Terkel. Published by Pantheon Books, New York, NY, 1977. 1st Edition. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine in Chipped DJ. DJ price clipped. Bottom edge bumped in middle. Overall content excellent. 316 Pgs. ISBN 0394411021. LCCN 76-54308. A very different kind of memoir. It cuts across worlds, across years, across the vast spectrum of people that Terkel has known, from workers to famous stars, from Nobel Prize winners to ordinary folk. In recounting his own life, Terkel uses some of the methods that have made his radio programs so famous. He cuts from a visit to Chief Luthuli in South Africa to a memoir of the McCarthy period, from growing up among the petty gangsters of Chicago in the thirties to confronting bigger gangsters of our political life in the sixties, from acting in a radio soap opera to discussing film with Fellini. Studded with marvelous anecdotes, high (and low) adventure, moments that are unexpectedly hilarious or surprisingly moving. Description text copyright 2005 BooksForComfort. Item ID 10146.
