About Alice is Calvin Trillin’s homage to his late wife, Alice. I have not read much of Trillin’s other work, but Alice apparently plays a key role throughout his works. This one is certainly a loving remembrance of who she was and her impact on his life.
It is a very touching story and relationship - one most of us aspire to. It’s a short book (78 pages) and after completing it I was interested to read Alice’s famous work “Of Dragons and Garden Peas” about coping with serious illness, in her case lung cancer. She seemed to have been a remarkable woman married to a remarkable man.
